I prepared this post a couple of days ago, and then realized that today is Jack Kerouac’s 90th birthday. Here is the post that I saw on Facebook from Brain Pickings.

My husband is a fan of the writer Jack Kerouac, so we stopped in Lowell, Massachusetts on our way to visit my friend in New Hampshire during our cross-country trip in the summer of 2008. There is an installation of excerpts from his works in the city where he was born.
