Arrived at the Mises Institute this afternoon, gave my family a tour, played the Bosendorfer a little, introduced my father to Lew Rockwell, and had dinner and a wonderful visit with my great friend, Floy Lilley. I’m now in the “Rothbard Village” directly behind the Institute, in what is called the “French Quarters.” Be jealous. Especially since I get to visit the bookstore tomorrow morning and add to my growing library of political, economic and philosophical books.
Normally I’m a bit more focused, but today has been one of those crazy days. I decided to straighten my room before my mom told me to. So I started that project, but realized I should do some laundry. While going through my clothes, I figured I should transition into more wintery clothes, which involves much more work than just throwing things in the laundry.

Frankly, it wasn’t much work to hunt…
Don’t worry…you came to the right website…it just looks a little different. I was unhappy with the other theme for a variety of reasons, and decided to change it.

I didn’t mean to have one of those, I have found it only slightly useful, but I hope it is helpful to you. Because of it, I can clean my sidebar off a little. Let me know…
I feel a bit guilty, it has been nearly two weeks since I left my dear state of IL, and I haven’t written a single blog post about it yet. So perhaps today that will change. The highlights of my trip so far? Last Friday we went to Savannah, the first time I had visited my namesake town. I don’t know if that means I was named after the city, or the city was named after me, but neither are correct.
