Figuring out WHY by 4 p.m.

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.
