Yes! — had he lived — Jack Kerouac would have been 103 years old today!!

Which were your favorite books by Jack Kerouac? Mine were: The Subterraneans; The Dharma Bums; and Big Sur.

And my favorite Beats were Jack, William S. Burroughs, Gregory Corso, and Allen Ginsberg. Although there were some other poets on the fringe of the Beatniks that I also liked, they weren’t solidly part of the Beat Generation — they became more prominent a little later.

Okay, aside from those heavenly birthday wishes, I don’t really have time to post today. I gotta scoot. The next 4 days, I have morning shifts.

The weather this entire week is going to be just incredible, gang, so I can’t decide if I should take my favorite 94-year-old Japanese client to the Peony Bistro for lunch today, or wait until Friday.

If I left the decision to him, he would want to go out for lunch every day. And so would I — when the weather is so nice! But I don’t want his family to think I’m taking advantage of him when they see his credit card bill. (He never, ever, EVER lets me pay for my own lunch. So I limit our outings to once a week.)

So I guess I will just play it by ear.

Meanwhile, enjoy your wonder-filled Wednesday, wherever you are in the world, gang!!!

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

Enjoy, gang!!!
