Historian. Author. Professor. Budding Curmudgeon. I study the contrast between image and reality in America, especially in politics.

Planning a rebellious retirement shouting about injustice, inhumanity, climate and environment and political insanity. Probably nobody will be listening.

Quilter, LibriVoxer, DIYer - just a person trying to make a good life here on this big old troubled planet.
