That fall, in our final weekend in the Bay Area, my wife and I found ourselves at Ken Kesey's home in La Honda, where his famous bus "Furthur" was parked in the driveway.

In the morning, we raced up La Honda Road to Skyline, where we had breakfast with Neal Cassady, at the counter of Alice's Restaurant in Woodside. Cassady was as vivid as Kerouac had portrayed him as Dean Moriarty in On the Road. At breakfast, he maintained a rapid stream of incomprehensible parallel conversations: with me, the person sitting on the other side of him, the waitress, and someone who was not there.
