Rainbow Snippets*—Time for a Break
I knew this summer was going to be a challenge, and I wasn't wrong. I've had too many irons in the fire and it's felt like everything has gone a little sideways. No major disasters, but enough to feel like it's two steps forward, a step-and-a-half back. I got home from the Rainbow Readers Cruise last weekend—which was wonderful, by the way—but as per the new normal, I tested positive for Covid. I'm supposed to head to Kansas Wednesday for GRL, so fingers crossed I'm testing negative by then. I'd consider canceling now if I wasn't going as an author, but I decided to take the plunge and "just do it" this year. I have swag and books and preorders. Everyone, send me your good vibes!
Northern Georgia, August 1969
Ah, hitchhikers. Young. And oh, so very tender. But I’d learned long ago to pass them by, to leave temptation by the side of the road. And that’s all they were–temptation. I’d fed recently, but even so, the sight of them made my mouth water. I repeated it to myself, “Keep going, old man. Drive on by,” even as my hands turned the wheel and my feet pressed the clutch and brake. This was such a bad idea.
