Five things I thought about during my morning run:

1. Love running with a gentle rain prickling at my skin.

2. Scent of rain. Wet pavement.

3. Tusk.

4. Bouchercon.

5. Leaving my family for four days. Of course, it’s a bad time for me to go. Fall. Next year I will have to rethink my travels. But Bouchercon certainly may be worth it. Fingers crossed.
