My first reading on the book tour--held at the Rocky Mountain Writers' Festival, here in Pocatello, Idaho--was very well attended, and went off without a hitch (which had everything to do with the great people behind the event: the poets, Greg Nicholl & Bethany Schultz Hurst). I read for about 45 minutes or so, met a lot of wonderful people, and even reconnected with some old friends. Afterwards, I had a drink with some faculty members and the Festival's dynamic duo--Bethany and Greg. Can't say how great it was.

This morning I have blue skies and the open road that leads home.
