Oregon State Fair, Salem, Oregon Today is orientation for year two of the PSU MFA program. I made a concerted effort this summer to go to warm places and soak up the heat.

Conference organizer extraordinaire and general all-around good guy Chad Fowler interviewed me via email last week as part of a series of preparatory posts he’s doing in the run up to RubyConf in November.
