To everybody who came out and said hi yesterday at the Collge of DuPage. It was great meeting everybody and major thanks to the leadership program there for inviting me. There will be video at some point. Hopefully not of the point where I utterly lose my place in the speech and spend my “leadership” time going “uh, erm, what I mean is, damn it, where is that paragraph anyway?”

And if any of the student newspaper kids did wind up showing up later, I’ve been reading your work, and I could have design quibbles (always, with everything, including the NYT) but your writing’s right up there. Nice to see the next generation kicking some ass all over.
