May all your trails be crooked...

May all your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view, where something strange and more beautiful and more full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for you. —Edward Abbey

Hooptedoodle

One night Mack lay back on his bed in the Palace Flop house and he said, “I ain’t never been satisfied with that book CANNERY ROW.... Sometimes I want a book to break loose with a bunch of hooptedoodle.... Spin up some pretty words maybe.... But...I don’t want hooptedoodle to get mixed up in the story... [H]e ought to put it right at first. Then I can skip it if I want to, or maybe go back to it after I know how the story come out." John Steinbeck, SWEET THURSDAY (1954)
