One Thing or Another Podcast
One of the pleasures of publishing websites is all the new friends I've made over the last 12 years. One of the more recent ones is Mark Goldstein, host of the Where Do Gays Retire? podcast, and founder of the Where Do Gays Retire? Facebook page (with its over 14,000 members!). I had a chance to catch up with Mark on a hot summer day, about his life, his ventures, and his future.

What goes around comes around ... and it's another great interview with author, columnist, and renaissance man Dave Hughes. We've been friends for nearly a decade, and I've taken a lot of inspiration from Dave's post-corporate-job life (I try not to use the word 'retirement,' since it needs to be retired!). Join me in a chat with Dave about two of his big ventures: RetireFabulously.com, and his more recent headlong dive into fiction with his 'Gay Tales for the New Millennium' series, with its fifth book, Karma Train from Kansas, having just pulled into the station.
