Upcoming blog-related travel: Next week, from Sunday afternoon through Thursday afternoon, I will be in Louisville, Kentucky to participate on a law-blogging panel at an event that’s not open to the public. If my travel plans cooperate, I may arrive in Louisville in time to catch the end of Sunday afternoon’s AAA International League baseball game featuring the Columbus (Ohio) Clippers at the Louisville Bats.
