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

I make quilts, read books, garden, drink coffee, watch birds, snuggle my cats, and bake/eat cake. I do my best to be kind. I don't put up with people who are awful. I drive a Lizardmobile. IRL I am Amy Wilson. Hoping my FB friends find me here.

I like scratching.
