Apparently the one-day writing seminar that I am teaching this September has found a time and place. Information on this is at the Oregon Writers Colony site. By a stroke of good fortune, 'twill be held in Beaverton, which is certainly convenient for me.

We return you now to your regularly scheduled programming ...
