I’m in Iola, Kansas, staying with my friends, Susan and Brian. Susan is the publisher of the Iola Register. On Friday, she asked me to write a guest column about why I’m doing this trip. What could I do? I’m getting luxury accommodations here: A sink in the guest room! An office to work in! Good food! Free medical care (Brian is a doctor) for an obnoxious rash of blisters on my mouth! Tolerance for my dog in a house of two cats!
She had me. The deadline was 4 p.m., so I had a few hours to figure out why I’m doing this trip. Here’s what I came up with. The headline is hers.
