Coming to you live from…
My favorite quote, one embossed on the coffee cup I use every day, is from Henry David Thoreau: Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
Today, I sit in my apartment, yes, in New York City (thus the Saturday Night Live line). In a couple of days, I take off on the second leg of my European research tour for The Perfect. I am living the life I have imagined.
And you are invited to join me on the Travel Blog page as I shoot pictures and blog my way from Munich, where I land, through Austria and Switzerland to Basel. Then north through the Black Forest and on to Berlin, from where I depart.
It may seem a bit like Babe Ruth pointing to the bleachers, signaling he planned to hit a homerun, but I know I will return with “treasure” that will invest future conversation on this site and eventually the novel itself. Come along for a wild ride!

AN APOLOGY: Due to technical difficulties in getting the blogging portion of this site fully operational before my trip, I was unable to report live as I went through Europe. In other words, these entries are being made, after the fact, from my trip notes. Not quite realtime, but better than no record at all.
Living in New York, Vic do you own a car? Bill
Yeah, Bill, but I keep it up in Connecticut at my brother’s. Of no use here in the city.
