Bayville, NY

Recently, after another night of riding the Landshark, I woke up in my washing tub to discover the leaves changing and yellow schoolbuses at my door. Which means it's time to switch to Guinness.

My summer in summary: tiki bars, Salem, Block Island, 45K of a strange noir novel that gives me headaches just thinking about submitting it to agents, bowling, lifting, not enough running, and getting waaay into LEGO with the research assistants.

And since my life is best expressed in bullet points, here's a few more updates:

Cato's Encyclopedia of Libertarianism is out with my entry on Prohibition sandwiched somewhere within its 664 pages. I haven't seen it, and from the $125 sticker price, I'm not expecting a contributor's copy anytime soon. If you have it or have skimmed a copy on the shelves, drop a line to tell me how it looks.

Catch me over at Crispy on the Outside, a libertarian food blog run by friends Baylen Linnekin and Jerry Brito, where I now constitute 20 percent of the masthead and no doubt will generate 98 percent of the readers' derision.

Dig has an article of mine online about gladiators and what archaeologists have deduced from their various traumas.

Exciting stuff. But not nearly as exciting as the return of pirates!
