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.
