Well, I've gone private. We'll see how this works.
I'll try to post more frequently. I think that'll be doable because I won't have to worry about Steve Glorioso reading it. At least not directly. (For you out-of-towners, Steve Glorioso is a generic term for unprincipled political opportunists.)
Ran six miles today. Next Saturday is the KC half marathon.
Today Allie and I are going to a Chiefs game. First one for her, second for me. We've got the Mayor's seats, so it should be pretty classy.
Drop me a line and let me know if the access worked.

Forget the nerdy reputation that debate has. Instead think of a scenario as exciting as a sports game with high stakes like triumphing over racism. bad politics and abject poverty... An important, thoughtful and provocative look at race and class in America.

Joe Miller's enthusiasm is infectious and the plot creates the suspense of a good courtroom thriller.

The minute I finished Joe Miller's Cross-X, I held the book out in front of me -- amazed, rapturous, and hopeful... Miller's mesmerizing, vivid accounts of the debates will leave you crouched in your seat, holding your breath... An incredibly powerful, daringly hopeful book.
- Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Irresistible... Miller begins breezily but is soon deeply invested in the Central squad's mission to not only master the debate game on its own terms but revolutionize it with flashes of poetry and hip-hop wordplay... If all these kids could run things, Miller implies, imagine what could get done.
