Ever the Twain shall meet

Mark Twain died 100 years ago, but he'll never die. Get out and about. Do some Mark Twain stuff in 2010!

Big River, a musical by Roger Miller based on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, opens over Memorial Day weekend and runs throughout June at Kirkwood, Mo. Whenever "River in the Rain" comes up on my MP3 player, I stop and look at the big river near my workplace. It's the Missouri, rather than the Mississippi, but they do join up.
