Congrats to your eldest sons! It was fascinating to hear about their path from homeschooling to studying at Vanderbilt. Would you (or they) consider posting about how their time at Vanderbilt went and what led them to the University of Wisconsin?

Hi Bryan! I work at Hillsdale College, which is fairly close to your route. Would you be interested in stopping by our campus? Hillsdale overall leans Republican, but we've got a very substantial Libertarian contingent. I'm sure that as many of our Students For Liberty members are around during the summer would love to meet you. Maybe a brief tour and then lunch?

We've got cool geography up here in Madison - you'll like that. Just a shame about that downtown building height limit. The poor isthmus!

Hopefully you have a chance to tour Epic System's campus as well as UW's. Get the head-to-head comparison of our largest private vs largest public employer. See who builds better! (Course, House on the Rock beats them both.)

Hi Bryan,

Think you'll find this quite interesting. It's about how the Cruising industry seems to be less 'capped' than others, largely because of its ability to not be hindered by regulatory law and real estate as much and work around 'borders'.

Be good to hear your thoughts

If it’s something you’re willing to share, why are they going to UWM? Nothing wrong with it, but I would have figured that, with their upbringing, they’d be competitive candidates for Harvard/Princeton/MIT etc.

Didn’t want to do predocs first. Almost obligatory at top places now.

It looks like you will be traveling through the Cleveland area. I am not available the weekend of July 27, but I could organize a meetup for the trip back in early August, perhaps in a restaurant. You have my email, perhaps you could tell me about your preferences and if this would interest you. Tom Jackson.

Unfortunately, we are flying back from Madison, so we won’t be passing through again this time.

Only if someone with good venue offers to sponsor it when I'm around.
