Jim Harrison, Author, Eventual Legend

While going through withdrawls from the lack of 'No Reservations' episodes, new ones that is, I was thumbing through the outskirts of some photo's that Bourdain has on his Travel Channel site, and lo and behold there is none other than Jim Harrison. The someday legendary author (if not already) of outdoorsy novels. I did not know that he had written "Legend's of The Fall", one of my all time favorite movie films.
I had seen him on one of Anthony's shows a short while back. Montana. Jim was featured in that particular shoot because he has a summer home up there, loves to hunt and write all the while getting back to the simple life and lot's of good food. As he gingerly puts it, "That's why I like it here, it has absolutely nothing to do with life in our time."
These days he simply states the pen hits the paper and he is putting them out quicker than he and Jack Nicholson use to put down food and spirits. Jim your my hero, think I will surely look for 'Returning to Earth' in print or maybe someday in a major motion picture. Thanks my friend.
