Zen and now

 I think was the name of some schmaltzy album by a former Led Zepplin guy (or was it Now and Zen? Baah, who cares) or the book by Mark Richardson about Robert Pirsig's ride with his kid in the late 60s. That is neither here nor there (get it? that's a pun...) Anyhoooooo, there is a group leaving tomorrow from Minneapolis tracing the Pirsig ride. Linky link here: 

The ZMM50th Anniversary Ride – #ZMM50thRide – The Robert Pirsig Association 

While I do have a copy of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" on the bookshelf, it's a rather dense read and much ado about nothing related to motorcycles or maintenance matters. I am opting for Richardson's "Zen and Now" for the whopping sum of 12 bucks on Amazon.
