No, that’s actually not a joke, although it’s more of a “gathering” than a convention. Next month, I’m going on Nameless Entity business to Ottawa. Naturally, I am going to meet with Pete Vere (we’ve never met in person.) He has invited fellow Catholic Light readers John Pacheco and Tim Ferguson as well. Are there any other Canadian readers who want to have dinner with us? My trip is tentatively scheduled for the week of Feb. 14, though I’m 90% sure it’ll happen then.

Ottawa’s a bit far, but if you ever meet in Alberta, I’d love to join you all for dinner.
I’d be there in a heartbeat, if it were spring break. Seems I’m back in school part-time. Don’t worry, Pete, I’ll be up there one of these days. Love to the family.

Eric, do you realize that you just narrowed down the name of Nameless Entity to either the State Department or the CIA? Who else would want to send someone to Ottawa?
Arrgghh! Wish I could go, too! If you’re ever in the North….
BTW, Pete, email me for the name of an “orthodox” friend of mine studying for the priesthood at your university. He could use a like-minded buddy.
Coward:
The Hollywood Emigration Office? The West Hollywood Marriage Office? The Hollywood Filming Office? The Michael Moore Filming Office?
I could see Eric working for any of those entities.
I think the CIA is far more likely.
I wouldn’t narrow it down just yet. There are other agencies besides the Culinary Institute, and there are parts of DOD that might send Eric to Ottawa. He might even be going to visit a vendor, in which case the trip wouldn’t tell us anything about the Nameless Entity itself.

In the very center of socialist Canada? Unlikely. I say Eric is working for the CIA, and has been holding out on all of us big time in the James Bond gadget department.
Further evidence that Eric not only works for the CIA, but also that everyone knows it: eric johnson cia gets more Google hits than valerie plame cia. About those gadgets…
Hmmm … and he WAS asking about Swiss bank accounts a couple of weeks ago….
The truth is out: I am indeed working for the movie industry, specifically Dreamworks. We’re working on a location shoot for the film version of “Everybody Poops,” starring Tom Hanks.
Eric’s message requires decoding, as does any CIA communique:

I am working for the cia. We shoot Tom Hanks.
I interpret that to mean (in charity) that Eric is on a secret mission to shoot pictures of Tom Hanks to gather evidence of pro-terrorist activities, or of his defection to Canada and treason against the United States (or both). When it comes out that Tom Hanks is on trial for treason, remember folks: you heard it here first.
