Here in San Antonio

Well, I made it to San Antonio for Fredom Communications' Freedom School. Flew on Express Jet, apparently a new airline. It uses smaller je ts (56 passengers) and the flight was smooth and generally trouble-free. The event starts at 6:00 local time (4pm PDT), so I'll meander on the Riverwalk a bit, then change clothes. I'm looking forward to it. It will be interesting to see how widely the perception that the newspaper business is changing in fundamental ways is shared, particularly in smaller cities. And to get a little refresher course in freedom. I'll report my perceptions beginning tonight.
