Hey...that's my brother!

Forty years ago, while I was just barely a bun in the oven, my parents and 3-year-old brother, Loren, were in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park with 10,000 groovy folks celebrating life and listening to poetry and music at the "Human Be-in".

I'm not sure of the details--I wasn't born yet, remember?-- but somehow my brother ended up in the arms of famous beatnik poet, Allen Ginsberg. The moment was documented by a photographer and popped up a couple days ago in the San Francisco Chronicle, in a story celebrating the 40th anniversary of the event.

The full story, entitled "... with flowers in your gray hair" (clever!) can be found here.
