I received my March issue of Gilbert, the magazine of the American Chesterton Society (ACS), on Thursday, March 19. Another great cover by Ted Schluenderfritz. I've only read a couple of articles, so I'm not sure which will turn out to be my favorite. I'll post my choice in a week or so. I was pleased to see that Dale Ahlquist's (ACS president) upcoming speaking engagements were listed in the magazine. I've not noticed that before, but I think it's a first. I sent a note to the ACS suggesting that that add that feature to the Society's web site. That way any fanatics like me can decide if they want to drive to something that might be within a couple of hours and listen to Mr. Ahlquist. And if you do get to hear Dale, be sure your cell phone is off. (There is a hefty fine if your cell phone goes off during one of his presentations. Just kidding, I think!) I'm beginning to look forward to August 6-8, the dates of the upcoming 2009 Chesterton Conference in Seattle, WA. I'm also looking forward to receiving a book I recently ordered from the Society, "Paradox in Chesterton" by Hugh Kenner.
Notice I have not mentioned the last Meeting. There was a notice for it in the Chillicothe Gazette. But to no avail. I, however, was there and had a nice conversation with Erin, one of Schlegel's friendly barista's. I also enjoyed my decaf latte and a few pages of the "Flying Inn." Finally, as I departed thru the rear door, I viewed the beautiful art work of Gretchen Tippie. You folks don't know what you're missing!
