What a wild few days! Seth called me early last week to say he wasn't feeling that well and I might have to take his place at the Chesterton Society's conference.

Oh no!

I hammered out a quick speech and ended up on an early morning flight to Chicago on Thursday, landing a few hours before I was to take the stage. I gave the speech, which was hilarious, insightful, and delivered flawlessly, and made a "beeline" for my hotel room (after a quick play of Hive with a fan and subscriber). Got a few hours of sleep and then an early morning flight home. I don't think I was at the hotel for more than 12 hours!
