With plenty of pleasant routines in the tri-corne of CT after primarily being in Brooklyn for the past few years, I thought I'd seen most of the world that I wanted to see. I did my one big trek around the US 35 years ago... for a few months, seeing family, friends, national parks and lots of the highway. Even a plane ride, a drive up the California coast after the Grand Canyon and meeting a lot of family in the NM area.

robinhoodradioondemand.com  is the site to find an inteview with Lynn Martorell on a Death Cafe she is hosting at the DM Hunt Library on 2/13/20 in Falls Village CT to consider aspects of transition, dying, death and the aftermath for a family, friends and more.
