Absolutely love Rainy Day as well, hoping I get to make the trek from Iowa for a public appearance this time around!

Can my day get any better? Perhaps. Is it already in the Win column? Yes, preordering a new Joe Posnanski book will do that for me!

I love finding a small, local bookstore. The folks who take the time to know the customers and are able to recommend something new. And I appreciate authors who do what they can to encourage readers to support those stores.

Dolly was certainly an inspiration. Work hard. Take risks. Don't take yourself too seriously. Be kind. Be generous. She made certain that the saying 'may her memory be a blessing' would ring true. But please never make me listen to Down from Dover again. That song absolutely rips my heart out.

I’m not big on country music, so had never heard Down from Dover. Wow… just… wow. I’d been missing a lot by not following her music. What a talent.

It is both a great song and a song I *never* want to hear again.

But did Dolly like baseball?

I would LOVE to pre-order this right away, maybe even be the first one.....but holy cow, do you know how much time I need to think of what to ask you to (make you) write???
