Thanks for such a splendid weekend touring the North Cascades. Even if I figure out why the color of glacial lakes is different, I promise not to ruin the magic with any scientific explanation.

To: Billy Clay Rodgers
Happy 60th Birthday to my dad, Billy Clay Rodgers of Pontotoc, MS. Most Saturday evenings, after eating fried catfish at our favorite local restaurant, he and my mom will go with me and my wife and kids as we spend some time riding North up the Natchez Trace Parkway toward Tishomingo County while we listen to "A Prairie Home Companion" on Mississippi Public Broadcasting. We have been doing this for nearly a decade now, and we look forward to continuing this family tradition as long as we can.
—Martin Rodgers
