onward.

Kerouac had a lot of grand plans for the future, one of which included using money from a long waited advance on his novel to start up a farm share with Neal Cassady and his sister and her husband, and his (Jack's) mother. He finally got the money, but when the plan was enacted, it failed. Mother Kerouac wanted to go back to the east coast, the husband of his sister wanted to go back to the east coast, and everyone was disenchanted with the idea soon after it was in play.
I'm not even sure what I want to do with the rest of my time tonight.
