We leave for Iowa this week so we can get in some fly fishing along the way. I'm curious as to how I'll do with tying on the flies, casting and keeping my balance in the rivers. Won't know until I try. I'm probably nuts for doing this Iowa ride, but it will be another story. More rejection letters for the book. Chin up Nan. I'm not accustomed to waking up nearly every morning to another rejection.. My mother would tell me I'm building character. I think I'm character enough. I ramble. I'll post along the road when I'm able. Be well.
