The Open Road: a learning community

Afoot and lighthearted, I take to the open road...
Henceforth, I ask not good fortune,
I myself am good fortune.
--Walt Whitman

I’m older than most people I know. Now, looking back, I find that I don’t feel alienated from my origins in rural Texas–as I did feel 50 years ago. In the intervening years I have transported my mental world to the Pacific Northwest.
