Liam /Parts Unknown

PARTS UNKNOWN

I have let Liam lead. And he does

I am traveling to parts unknown
I have driven down these streets
but I am seeing them at slower pace and at a lower level

This started with the information in an article posted on Facebook which I consumed with relish.
and I wrote a blog story about it

since incorporation of free walking into our outings our lives have expanded
each walk is a new adventure



and a friend remembered this observation

 https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0697686/quote
 Jerry Seinfeld: On my block, a lot of people walk their dogs, and I always see them walking along with their little poop bags, which to me is just the lowest function of human life. If aliens are watching this through telescopes, they're gonna think the dogs are the leaders. If you see two life forms, one of them's making a poop, the other one's carrying it for him, who would you assume was in charge?

I am one of those folks. More now than ever.


I began to let Liam sniff and lead me a few weeks after Tony Bourdain committed suicide. I imagined I was making a canine episode of Parts Unknown...his CNN show

SMELLS

TRUFFLES FOR TONY?
one of my faves is the Hanoi visit

Tony Bourdain left a legacy of involvement in many fields





PARTS UNKNOWN EPISODES
LIAM GETS HUNGRY

Did allowing Liam to walk me arise from Tony's passing
Am I conflating the two?
Maybe
but that's okay
we had original episodes through mid November
some cobbled together and all without Tony's iconic intro
they were new though
last one was 11/10



  




and now we are on our own

in Parts Unknown



LIAM LEADING ME TO PARTS UNKNOWN
woof, woof
