This is my first attempt at a blog and I will do my best to write things of interest to all of you. The name my blog Report to Amos is a variation on the name of Nikos Kazantzakis' autobiography Report to Greco. The great Greek writer Kazantzakis wrote several of my favorite books: Zorba the Greek, The Greek Passion, Report to Greco. In his autobiography he offered up the story of his life to the memory of his grandfather. I will try my best to do the same here. To make a report to my late father Amos. From past and future grand adventures to everyday occurrences. Some wonderful day many years from now it will be my turn to "Walk into the Forest" and I will have an accounting before my father.
Here are the last lines from Report to Greco. I am changing the word grandfather to father.
"I come to recline at your side, to become dust at your side, that the two of us may await the Final Judgment together.
I kiss your hand, father. I kiss your right shoulder, I kiss your left shoulder.
Father, hello!"
