    Default .... And now Grizzly Adams is gone.

    Grizzly Adams was my favorite show by far as a kid.
    That show planted the seed for me wanting to live in the wild.
    I'm walking over to the bank in 30 minutes to wire transfer 95K for a down-payment on a home that is on the edge of the wilderness.
    I will be going back at noon to sign the closing documents.
    Grizzly Adams died this morning.

    Rough week for icons.

    Jeromia Johnson was fav as a kid. Grizzly Adams was a close second.

    Sad to hear he's dead ... but to be honest he's one of those celebs that when you hear they've died you're like "I thought they died years ago?" ... maybe I'm thinking of the bear.

    Or our icons are all about our age and we are seeing them drop. The wife and I were commenting on how many 50th anniversary events were this year.

    I loved Grizzly Adams, far more than Jeremiah Johnson, but the TV show was more kid-friendly. I actually tape-recorded the end song because (to my knowledge) it was never released as a full song but it was such a sweet melody and had such poetic structure. I still (sort of) have it memorized ...

    Deep inside the forest is a door into another land,
    Here I'll make my life and home
    I am staying here forever in the beauty of this place
    All alone

    And I keep on hoping ...
    Maybe there's a world where we don't have to run and
    Maybe there's a time to call our own
    Living free in harmony and majesty

    Take me home, take me home.
    Take me home, take me home.


    Grizzly Adams has gone home.
