Posts may be scarcer over the next few days, as I’m flying out to Portland to give a couple of talks about Harvard Rules. On Tuesday night at 6:30, I’ll be speaking to—let’s see if I can get this right—the Ivyplus group, which consists of alumni from local graduates of the Ivy League, Stanford and MIT. And then on Wednesday I’ll be speaking to the Yale Club of Oregon at the University Club. And Wednesday night, the red-eye to LaGuardia will bring me home, with a layover in Chicago at—gulp—4:57 AM.

Ah, the glamorous life of a writer!

But I’m very much looking forward to visiting Portland, a beautiful city with some great bookstores, and talking with what I’m sure will be smart and thoughtful audiences.
