Yesterday was the birthday of Jack Kerouac. I didn't forget it; I just put it off one day (which Kerouac would surely understand). A few years ago I drove up to see the famous scroll of On the Road in Orlando - the first city to show it, as Kerouac was living there, with his mother in a back porch apartment, when the book made its splash. Rereading it before the trip, I was struck again by his boyish enthusiasm for life, and his ability to capture, in a way that hadn't been done before, the glorious intoxication of travel.

Today is the birthday of Janet Flanner, longtime Paris correspondent for the New Yorker. I can still remember picking up the magazine and seeing "Letter from Paris" in the table of contents, and under it a name so fittingly similar to flaneur, the urban animal who strolls the boulevards taking in and feeding on the carnival all around.

When you are evaluating a commercial real estate dealer, enquire about
their principal source of income. The representative’s response ought to be open and genuine and should make it obvious whether or not the interests and rules from the organization are consistent with yours. Be sure you realize particularly which portion of the firm’s financial transaction with you will certainly be
rewarding to the organization.

I tend not to drop many comments, but i did some searching and wound up here
jack and janet. And I do have a couple of questions for you if
you do not mind. Is it only me or does it give the impression like some of the remarks look like they
are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at other places, I’d like
to follow everything new you have to post.
Could you list of every one of all your social sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page
or twitter feed?
