Some readers want to know: Are my Ohio appearances (at Denison and Kenyon)

on for this Thursday?

Answer: Yes, I am flying in to Columbus Wednesday night.

I am told that the weather in the area is really appalling, with a foot of

ice covering everything. This doesn’t bother me, but it might make for a

thin turnout. Since the colleges are paying my fare and accommodation, this

would be a poor return for their time, trouble, and money; so if you can

possibly make the events, please do.
