Ugh, okay fine.
Look: it's on sale ($10.46 in paperback)!
Also: it fits in a stocking!
Also also: it demonstrates that Paris 1919 is, despite nearly all appearances, a great Christmas album!

Itβs the first Fall in about 30 years that Iβm not preparing to βhead back to schoolβ in some capacity. Lots of mixed emotions that Iβm sure will be fun to work through. π₯Έ
Sending all my good energy to the folks heading back to the classroom!

Public servants, historians, and frontline interpreters are trained professionals who do everything in their power to connect visitors with the stories which make up our complicated national fabric. Yet we are consistently in the crosshairs of those who are waging war on history and intellectualism.
Just like in the parks, safety comes first.
- Stay with your group
- Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts)
- Leave no one behind
- Document everything

Almost a year after a brilliant research trip to Belfast, conducting oral histories with folks who were so generous with their time and story, and a major job change I think Iβm ready to start writing again.

I havenβt been a member of the AHA for a number of years and I am happy to not have wasted my money.
What a cowardly act.
If it's possible for a civilization to die from a widespread loss of empathy, we're witnessing the death knells in real time.

My book, John Caleβs Paris 1919, for the 33 1/3 series. Pub date: Feb 6.
