Today I drove five hours to conduct a 16 minute interview in person. Why not over the phone you ask? I'm not sure. No one is.
I didn't mind the drive and really enjoyed getting to see people feeding and little calves racing across pastures. But it's been a really busy week and it would have greatly reduced several people's stress level if I had just called the guy. Oh well, it's over, the article is done and I got in a little road trip before the blizzard hit.
