Someone set a run for the Little Rock Hash House Harriers that ended in Rock's maternal grandmother's backyard in Nashville, Arkansas. They all gathered around an old, rusted swingset under the massive white oak Rock and his cousins climbed as children.
Rock was exhausted from the run and so thirsty that he opened a can of corn just to drink the water. He then walked across the back porch to the kitchen, where he put the open can into the refrigerator.
Don Chaney, Kayce Hall's recent groom, stepped into the kitchen as Rock closed the refrigerator door.
"Rock, why don't you just throw that corn away?" he said. "No one in the history of the world has ever made anything out of an open can of vegetables someone left in a refrigerator."
The kitchen looked just as Rock remembered it from twenty-nine years earlier, the last time he was there.
