The Hunting of the Snark by Lewis Carroll
Description:
This delightful and beautifully illustrated nonsense poem, written by beloved author Lewis Carroll of Alice in Wonderland fame is sure to entertain readers of all ages. The story revolves around an unlikely crew of characters who set out on a crazy adventure to hunt the Snark, a mysterious creature. A group of ten, whose names all begin with the letter B, arrive in a strange land in pursuit of the elusive Snark. They have been guided across the ocean by the Bellman’s map—which is, strangely, a blank sheet of paper. As they prepare for the hunt, the Banker warns them all to be careful, because if they encounter a Snark who is a Boojum, they will suddenly vanish. Ready to go, the group splits up, and various hilarious and confusing things happen to each member. Friendships are formed and minds are lost, but the Snark remains tantalizingly out of reach. As Carroll’s irreverent verse makes clear, the joy exists not in the outcome of the hunt but in the actual process of discovery itself—a process that we take part in as we try to understand who or what the elusive Snark really is.

Thanks, Larry, and others who have come to visit, sent messages. Things seem to be going well; escaped surgery, on my third cast, progressively tighter as the swelling goes down to ensure against lateral movement in the joint. I'm getting that Cadillac care they keep talking about. Now what about Brother Bodner?

I'm thankful to have health insurance subsidized by others.

Working hard to regain the flexibility in my shoulder and especially my elbow. The pain pills are still doing the trick, but I haven't have a beer since the accident. And I'm finding the new-found clarity a bit disconcerting. Looking forward to weaning myself off the opiates and back onto alcohol.
