Last Friday was Veteran's Day - and a school holiday! So Bonny and the girls came out to Monrovia - and a popular stop in Monrovia is the park across the street from Harry and Dawn's house on Lemon - right around the corner from where we used to live on Lime!!
At any rate, Porter was sporting this great hat - it made me think of the plaid hunting hat that Holden Caulfied wears in Catcher in the Rye. It's funny how so many odd little items from books stay with us - probably a good argument for choosing books carefully!
Salinger and Catcher in the Rye - for good or ill - is certainly in the Terrill library. After reading Dream Catcher, the memoir written by Salinger's daughter Margaret, I have a lot more understanding about Salinger. Like many - or should I say most - of us, Salinger is a product of his upbringing and his time. Not an excuse, just an observation.
And Porter is certainly a dapper little fellow - with or without the plaid hat!
