Welcome to my dream
In the year 2010 give or take a year or two,
there will appear on the bookshelves of the
world a new book. It will be a story about a
nine year old farmboy from middle America and
his dream. The year, 1936, just after the
Great Depression in America .
A boyhood dream of some day walking around
the world. Not in eighty days as Jules Verne
wrote about in his famous novel. But a walk
around the world in seven thousand, three
hundred and fifty days or thereabouts.
In that same year, a popular love song played
on the radio. Asking a very curious question;
"Have You Ever Seen A Dream Walking"? I have;
for you see I am that small boy of 70 years
ago and his dream. Who, at this point in time
and space, has walked approximately 80,000
miles in 18 years, covering 66 countries.
Fourteen thousand of those miles was in
walking the fifty states of America, plus the
Yukon Territory in three and half years.
The American poet, Walt Whitman in his poem,
A Song Of The Open Road, wrote these words;
"I am in step with my vision. As I tramp my
perpetual journey". I would paraphrase and
say; "I am in step with my dream, as I walk
'the path less traveled' ".
This "World Walk" will be finished by the
year 2010 on my 82nd birthday Or as they say
in Texas, 'If the creek don't rise and the
Lord is willing'. The end of my trip will be
as I am coming up out of South America
through the Panama Canal, finally into
Mexico, then on toward the Mexico/Texas
border. Finishing in Texas. Where I started
"The Walk" of the Fifty-States in 1983.
Again, Welcome to my dream.
If you do not have a dream in your pocket,
run, don't walk, and find yourself a dream to
become and be.

Vlog is a follow up to the preview I posted
yesterday

Frank Lloyd Wright is considered by many to
be America's greatest architect, and to learn
about his early life and the building's he
created Meghan Carter of
http://www.AsktheDecroator.com traveled to
Oak Park to see his original home and studio.
There she discovered Frank Lloyd Wright not
only his radical work but his extraordinary
life. Go inside Frank Lloyd Wright's
masterpiece home, Fallingwater. REDUCED
$400,000 from Appraisal. Buyers will
entertain all offers. Frank Lloyd Wright
inspired architecture sits on 2.4 acres with
incredible sunsets, city lights and mountain
views. With over 6700 sq ft of living space,
including a separate 2 bedroom guest house
w/full kitchen, dining @ living room, is
enegy efficiency steel frame home with R-80
& R-90, Solar water system w/150 gallon
capacity & insulated w/radiant barrier
film. Gourmet kitchen; 3 ovens, Scotsman ice
maker, Fisher-Paykel dishwasher, 6 top gas
range, dual Sub-zero fridges, & galley
pantry. Pool with waterfall & outdoor
lighting. Wright made several alterations to
the design of Monona Terrace during his
lifetime.
In 1990, Madison Mayor Paul Soglin
resurrected Wright's proposal, which won
narrow approval in a public referendum in
1992. Construction began two years later.
In 1997, nearly sixty years after Wright's
original inception, Monona Terrace Community
and Convention Center opened its doors.The
final design as executed was by Taliesin
architect (and former Wright apprentice)
Anthony Puttnam, based somewhat on Wright's
design. Alden and Vada Dow spent a memorable
summer (1933) with Frank Lloyd Wright at
Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin. He made
this film during his brief attendance at the
school. The narrator is that of
architect/engineer, William Wesley Peters,
one of the early apprentices at Frank Lloyd
Wright's School of Architecture. Brandoch
Peters is the son of William Wesley Peters,
who was Frank Lloyd Wright chief engineer and
trusted assistant from 1935 to Wright's death
in 1959. Brandoch was largely raised by
Wright and Wright's wife Olgivanna, his
grandmother, after the death of his his own
mother and a younger brother in a car
accident in 1945. Brandoch, therefore, has a
unique perspective on the life of Frank Lloyd
Wrght; he also brings fresh insight into his
brilliant father Wes, and into Olgivanna
Lloyd Wright, who, along with Wes provided
leadership, following Wright's death, to the
Taliesin Fellowship, the utopian community
founded by the Wrights, which flourishes
still. 125th Birthday Celebration at
Taliesin East. Cocktails at Hillside. ...
