Off to finish cleaning up and clearing out the campaign HQ but someone sent me this link and I think he’s got a point worth discussing:

I’m leaving on my trip today. Will it be fun to meet people who like reading my books? Stay tuned.
All the important things are packed. My laptop, my clothes, my medication, my kindle, a little bit of my strat-o-matic baseball and the necessary dice.
I will be staying in several Embassy Suites/Hiltons. They were good hotels (Are they still good today?) 25 years ago and have on site restaurants. and in room refrigerators which are important to me. My nephew is accompanying me to care for me in case I have medical issues. I really wish Dear Wife was coming with me but she is still working for the church.
While at two of my stops, I have planned meetings with either a friend or family. I haven’t seen my BIL Marty, my late sister’s husband, in over 25 years*. He’s a great guy and it should be fun seeing him again. I will also get to meet my LA in person for the first time. It has always been cellphone calls or Zoom meetings up to now.
Anyway I will be around here some and commenting when I have time.
