I remember you calling once while traveling through Delaware. You'll be a stonesthrow from the Logan House where Pete Best has played a couple of times. Any connection?

I hope we extend our best hospitality and give you a nice crowd when you descend on Champaign-Urbana. Alas, I don't think I'll be able to make it, since I work a night job....

Is that U of I at Urbana-Champaign or at Chicago? If it's Chicago I would love to come hear you talk ( and hopefully get my book signed).

Jamila, it's at Urbana-Champaign, but I hope to come to Chicago in July and would be very happy to sign your book.

I consider Wilmington to be my "hometown," so here are a few tips on how to make your visit there more eventful:

Check out the screen door factory. Yes, there really is one in Newark.

Get someone to show you Zoobieville, the mysterious community in Beaver Valley where all the houses are little-people-sized.

If your talk bombs, just yell "Go Blue Hens," and everything will be all right.

This may just be the best piece of speech advice I have received to date.

Don't forget that Delaware is one of only two states that doesn't have a sale tax. Although they did have the whipping post up until the 1950s. Remember the state motto, "Blink and you'll miss us!"

and if you ever get to talk in Toledo OH, it is: "Go MUD HENS!" and absolution is forthcoming. I didn't know about the "Blue Hens". YLSNED

When you get to Chicago, consider bopping down to Rockford. Our bishop is awesome and I would love to meet you in person. Alas, my job is such that I can't always get away even as close as Chicago...

Yay! Chicago in July! Do you have a calendar of events so I can see where and when that will be? Now that you're on your way here, I know a Catholic bookstore/gathering place that may be able (they'll certainly be willing) to host a talk by you (I didn't suggest it sooner because I know they couldn't pay your way all the way from Foldable Pizza Land).
