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

curious about how things work, love sci-fi, enjoy collectable card games and building sci-fi model kits. I share my life with four cats and a lively dog. I’m into strategy games, comics and value learning and meaningful connections.
