Notes To The Granddaughters

A Japanese-style summer vacation. -- The WSJ

May and I have moved fifteen times since 1977 when I started my post-graduate training, the same year we were married. I guess the average works out to two or three years at each address; the shortest time at one address was 10 months in Frankfurt (Rhein-Main AB), Germany. I believe the longest was four years at Bitburg AB, Germany.  Our time in San Antonio would be the longest, but we moved three times in the San Antonio area.

Many of those moves were overseas (Germany, England, Turkey, and Alabama).

We are now settled, or settling, I hope into our last address, somewhere northwest of Dallas, almost within walking distance of DFW airport.

It is a small apartment. Graham Greene might have described it in Heart of the Matter:

"The main room -- thirty by twelve -- to a stranger would have appeared a bare uncomfortable room but to Scobie it was home. Other men slowly build up the sense of home by accumulation … Scobie built his home by a process of reduction."   -- Graham Greene, Heart of the Matter, p. 91 (in my copy)

I am surrounded by books, but that is about all that separates me from Scobie, I suppose, in terms of tangibles (oh, yes, three bicycles, and Apple computers and an iPad).

I re-read a lot of my books, or at least portions of them. I keep coming back to some of the same ones. I never tire of the editor's note introducing Hunter S Thompson's Fear and Loathing in America: The Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw Journalist, Volume II, 1968 - 1976.

It is difficult to find one paragraph from that introductory note to capture HST, but for now, this will have to do:

"As critic Richard Elman noted in The New Republic, Thompson was asserting "a kind of Rimbaud delirium of spirit" in his writing, which "only the rarest of geniuses" could pull off. Such well-known American chroniclers as Studs Terkel, Tom Wolfe, William Kennedy, and Charles Kuralt were the first reporters to recognize that Thompson was a masterful prose stylist, imbued with a strange gift for comic despair and sledgehammer humor. They saw him as a hilarious schemer, an attack dog like H. L.Mencken, an outrageous outsider like novelist J. D. Salinger's Holden Caulfied. Meanwhile, mainstream editors also learned to respect Thompson's well-honed instinct for accurately reporting on the fringe characters of the tumultuous 1960s." -- p. xv in the book noted above.

I write these notes to remind myself of the literature I will be studying with my granddaughters during our summer school. With the little time left this summer, we will be studying electronics, molecular biology, astronomy, ornithology, geometry and trigonometry, and "history" of literature.

We do about ten minutes of each subject, mostly just introducing the words, the language, the names, some concepts. Gradually, over time, as they develop an agenda, we will increase the amount of time per subject, but fewer subjects each day. See linked story above. My wife is one-half Japanese; one-half Hispanic, so the granddaughters can claim some Japanese ancestry.

By 10:00 a.m. before the day is really beginning we get everything done, and then we can explore our surroundings. They flew into Dallas for the first time in their lives yesterday; last night was their first night in their new home in Texas. We have a lot of exploring to do. Maybe we can start with the Texas Motor Speedway; the speedway is thirty minutes to the west.
