Break on through


Continuing my October graveyard tour, our next stop is Jim Morrison's grave. Being an American who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, I couldn't go all the way to Paris and NOT visit the poet's corner of rock 'n' roll heaven. It's a pretty modest affair, perhaps befitting the Navy brat, born in Melbourne, Fla., to George and Clara Morrison. His dad would go on to become an Admiral and command forces at the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964. Jim, of course, would command an army of another sort. The inscription on his tombstone: KATA TON DAIMONA EAYTOY, means True to His Own Spirit.

The good stuff:

Free refills
Wild honey, dripping through cheesecloth
Waffles and sausage
Herb gardens
Old couples, holding hands
Coffee talk
Watering cans
Gardening gloves
Standing ovations
Honest feedback
