What’s Up in the Neighborhood, March 6, 2021

So every Saturday, I step aside and showcase the blogs and writings and photos of these great people on my personal blogroll. I’ve done this at least once a week on my blog, and have done so for many years.

Today, I decided to add something new.

Instead of only posting a link to these blogs …

I’m starting a new series, as part of my Saturday recap, in which I actually interview a blogger from my blogroll, ask them about their writing and photography, and just generally chat. Look, I can provide a link any day of the week (and mostly on Saturday), but wouldn’t it be nice to actually speak to these bloggers and see their faces and ask them about what inspires them?

So here’s the first example. This is an interview with blogger Daniel Nester, who operates the Pine Hills Review blog. I hope you enjoy this.

Also, if you would like to participate in a video interview (and if you’re capable of handling Zoom better than I can), click on my “Contact Chuck Miller” link and let’s set up an interview.
