Not sure why I like this quote but there’s something evocative about it. Oddly it is out of a March 17/05 CNN.com story about Robert Blake being acquitted of murder charges. Now I am neither here nor there when it comes to Blake. When asked what he was going to do next he said he would spend some time "cowboying" and described it as follows:

"Cowboying is when you get in a motor home or a van and you just let the air blow in your hair," he said. "And you wind up in some little bar in Arizona someplace, and you shoot a game of one-hand nine-ball with some 90-year-old Portuguese woman that beats the hell out of you.

"And the next day you wind up in a park someplace playing chess with somebody, and you go see a high school play where they’re doing ‘West Side Story.’

"And you just roam around and get some revitalization, that there are human beings in the world, that there are people living their lives that have no agenda."
