I really couldn't think of a title for our blog when I first created it. At the time I was listening to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and I couldn't think of anything else but how perfect the title was. Then I got to thinking about Eat Pray Love, and how she was reimbursed for her travels by writing the book. That got me thinking, I might be able to write a book about our travels, and I've been thinking of a title for the book ever since. It obviously couldn't be Zen and the Art of... so I came up with this. I think it fits us better because I don't think I'm even close to finding Zen, and following the format of Zen the art of... followed by an entry title that went along with the blog title was getting old. Example (if you didn't figure this out) Zen and the Art of Seeing Where the Twain Never Meet. Would have been easier to just call it Where the Twain Never Meet, but Zen and the Art of Where the Twain Never Meet isn't quite a sentence. So we have given up on this format, and I think its about time to personalize the name, so tell me what you think (I still have to ask Joe too, so he can also vote).
I like it. The short, memorable title with the long evocative subtitle works well. But will "Southwest" still fit when you cross the Pacific?
