It took 14 hours travel time to get here yesterday, but Amtrak is so much better than the buses I took leaving here last April to return home after Rodney's death. Much better frame of mind as well.
I stayed with Homer Witcher last night, who was so kind back then shuttling me around to police station, funeral home, and bus station. His daughter Karla picked me up in Roanoke last night, and I met his wife Teresa this morning. But right now it's pouring rain as I sit in their kitchen and I'm waiting it out until it lets up. Memories of rainy Virginia in 1982 come to mind.
