I read this book recently...
Synopsis of the book ::: John Steinbeck travels across America with his dog (Charley) for 3 months or so. He writes about his encounters with other people and his own thoughts as he journeys across America.
Finishing the book, I really wanted to get a dog, name him Charley and take him with me on my year-long run across Iowa.
I asked one of my friends if this was a good idea.
He responded, "No."
So I didn't.
It wouldn't be smart to bring an animal with me. I don't think many of my host homes would enjoy that.
However, on my way home today, I had a brilliant thought, instead of bringing a real animal, I could bring a stuffed animal...
:::So I thought I would bring a stuffed Wolf with me:::
Just messing...
Actually, I thought I would bring along a stuffed animal.
::: I would like to introduce to you to :::
Charley
(fitting huh?)
I've had this old muppet toy for a long time.
Maybe it will become my Wilson... Hopefully not. Hopefully I won't get too lonely on my trek...
I find even more meaning in taking Charley with me, cause my Gramps (who passed away several years ago) was a huge fan of this stuffed animal.
And my gramps middle name was Charles.
