Blogging to Follow a Blog: Hughie Does America...Slowly

My disappearing act from all electronic transmissions has been a relief and an inspiration at the same time. I scatter my thoughts too freely and end up divided in my efforts but falling all by myself. And then, more importantly, I feel that most people really don't give a damn where you are or what's going on because they're too busy checking in with the whole world in sound bites that are so brief that they are long forgotten before the end of the day. On to the next best thing.

I'm compelled to post a word about my amazing technicolor friend Hugh the Magnificent as he journeys across America, on the Slow Ride, and gathers and sorts his thoughts concerning the next chapter in his life. The talented Mr. Holborn has left St Augustine and the shrapnel of his overly busy life, reducing his personal footprint to a bicycle and small pull behind trailer, and heads for New Mexico. A slow, controlled journey indeed.

Hugh enriched my weekend by showing up here in Tallahassee after his successful first week on the road and is letting me do what I do best: entertain, feed and support. Of course, a quick All Call to my Number One's for a Friday Night Stone(r) Patio dinner party helped kick off a productive weekend for Hughie as he maps and organizes his next week.

Damn, I love Tallahassee...
