WELL, I'M BACK. I don't know how much blogging will get done today, but I'll try to post a few items anyway. I can report that Virginia Postrel is much better looking in person than she is in the picture on her website. And Richard Epstein is thick-skinned even for a law professor, as he sat for two days listening to people discuss his book, usually -- these were academics, after all -- critically, and he stayed calm and cheerful the whole time.

My flights were smooth and on-time, and airport security wasn't noticeably stupid, though I did notice that the first guy in line for boarding always seems to get a "random" search, something that I've noticed on previous trips and gotten numerous emails about, so that it may actually be a valid generalization.
