It was a bit of a zig and then a zag (not to be confused with a wig and a wam), as I bounced from New Orleans up to Nashville to see Randy Newman and then 300 miles back down south to give a reading near Auburn University.
There, I stayed with Ron Riekki, a Ph.D. writing instructor at Auburn who says he never read much of anything until joining the Navy in 1987 after graduating from high school in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
