We met family today at Dillon Lake off I-70. The clouds were spectacular, but the rain held off for most of the day. Here are three photos:
Now if we could just get a political scene as pretty as the [...]

After we left Birmingham we headed to Auburn, the home of the Ludwig von Mises Institute. There, I had a chance to sit down with Mark Thornton, a senior fellow. In this video we delve into Mark’s speciality — the economics of drug prohibition — as well as touch on monetary policy, the disconnect between [...]
I’ve written a review of J. K. Rowling’s book of fairy tales, Tales of Beedle the Bard Expands Rowling’s Moral Themes.
My least favorite story is “The Wizard and the Hopping Pot,” because it mixes themes and develops them poorly. My favorite is “The Fountain of Fair Fortune.” I find the other three tales to have [...]
We just watched the first episode of The Goode Family at ABC.com. It is about an environmentally-conscious, sensitive vegan family (think Boulder).

EastEnders is to tackle one of the last taboos [...]
I often lose track of the days while traveling and meeting so many great folks. It’s only when doing these Thank-you Thursday posts that I’m reminded that another week has passed. We’re now out of Alabama and kicking off our Eastern Excursion which will take us from Atlanta to the Free State Project’s Porc Fest [...]
