25 Oct It’s Been a While

It’s been a while since I wrote a blog post: five years, in fact. Social media took over. But now that I’ve just redone my website, I thought I’d start posting periodic missives. A lot has happened since I last dropped a blog post. My daughters are now out of college, and I’ve retired from the Smithsonian. Oh yeah, the pandemic. COVID or no, I’d still be sitting in front of my computer working on posters and writing. Sometimes I find myself sitting here seven days a week. How’d I get it all done when I had a job?

Should you be one of the millions who spend their day going back into bloggers’ archives, you’ll find several blurbs about me, my family, and life in general—some funny (as life can be when you’re the dad in a house of women) and some serious (like my post on 9/11). I started blogging in February 2001: an early adopter. Oh, you’ll also come upon some bad links. I’m slowly fixing those.

Welcome back!
