Rain

Here in Topeka, the rain keeps a'fallin' . . . .

On the Cox Oldies Station, Elvis's "Kentucky Rain" was just playing. I love that song. It is my all-time favorite by the King, written by Eddie Rabbit, also one of my favorites. It is filled with love and longing and loneliness and hope and determination. . . .

The song suits this day well.

Headed to Indianapolis. . . .

First stop, Hannibal, MO. . . .

I love Hannibal. It lives up to the imagination of Mark Twain. We'll be staying downtown on the river within walking distance of all the sites. . . provided, of course, we get out of Topeka today.

Then on to Springfield, IL, and we'll do the Lincoln stuff. . . maybe a stop in New Salem. . . or, maybe we'll just lay on the riverbank. . .

Old Man River, just keeps on rolling. . . .
