I have been reading more poetry lately, so this will be a fun challenge. Years ago I attended a performance of several pieces from Sexton's collection Transformations, retellings of Grimm fairy tales in verse format. It was incredible, afterwards I made my way through the tagged book. #hitch #poetrymatters @TheSpineView

Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy | Douglas Adams

“...any man who can #hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.” #QuotsyMay20

Deifio Happy Towel day to you, too! 5y

TK-421 @Deifio Thanks! You too! 5y

Day 25 - #Hitch

*Obviously, I had a hard time finding something that I had not heard before...hence, this musical flashback to my adolescence. ♥️
