Considering my silence earlier this week, I thought I’d explain my absence. On Tuesday morning I flew to New Hampshire to support the noble and courageous efforts in Catholic education being made by Thomas More College of the Liberal Arts and Mount Royal Academy. I arrived home late last night. Tomorrow, I drive to Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina to speak at a Catholic Homeschooling Conference. In the early afternoon I’m speaking on “The Battle for a True Education” and in the evening I’m speaking on the Catholicism of The Lord of the Rings. In between I hope to sell some of my books, DVDs and audio CDs. (Well, a man has to make an honest living!!) I hope that StAR-gazers in the Carolinas might be able to join me.
