I'm Back

Welcome to the return of my blog, Ramblin' with Rasdal.

As we tried new things at The Gazette, I've been posting my Ramblin' columns at the Eastern Iowa Life blog. I will continue to do that but will now also post them here. Plus, here I'll post additional comments and notices. So please bookmark this blog and follow me here.

As you may know, The Gazette has come out with a book features some of my Ramblin' columns from the past 30 years. Yes, I began Ramblin' in May, 1982, so that anniversary approaches. The coffee-table-style book, “Ramblin': Reflections of Hidden Iowa” retails for $34.95 and is now available at The Gazette, at Barnes and Noble in Cedar Rapids and for order online at ??. It will be available at other locations in December so stay tuned.

In the meantime, I'm signing books from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. tonight at Barnes and Noble, 333 Collins Road NE, in Cedar Rapids and from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday at The Gazette, 500 Third Ave. SE.

Stop to see me, buy a book and I'll sign it for you.
