"The Hobo is a Hopeless Romantic" - The Jerk, Too (1984)

MAR/19/26 | T--BWright
"It's the love of the open road. The sound of a distant train whistle. It's a good can of beans over an open fire. It's countin' shootin' stars... and listening, listening to the crickets." One of several great lost hobo scenes from "The Jerk, Too" (1984 made for television pilot "sequel" to "The Jerk"). For James LaFond, one of the last living hobos and a good pal.

God's Word is a Mirror: Day 11 of Water Fast

FEB/20/26 | T--BWright
It's day 11 of the no-food, strictly water and coffee. Today was a little rough, but God is good and He sustains me. Job Chapter 1 20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, 21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. 22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
