I was a visiting artist Thursday and Friday at an elementary school in Branson, MO, and got to hang out with ~500 amazing kids. Plus, I was in Branson! That in itself is a trip. Ripley&#8217;s Believe It or Not.. Branson Landing.. Fun times. Saturday morning was spent about an hour South in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Such a pretty little town. It&#8217;s a little overwhelming when all the <em>other<\/em> tourists show up, but fun nonetheless. Saturday evening I returned home to catch the Leo Kottke concert at the Lied Center. Amazing as expected. Sunday, some friends and I took our kayaks and canoes to the Wakarusa River west of Clinton Lake (which is basically the Wakarusa dammed &#8211; and it flows into the Kansas River east of Clinton Lake). We wanted to catch the fall foliage before it fell off. It was totally beautiful and scenic and fun&#8230;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
