Love will heal. And time in nature helps too. From our campsite near Minto, New Brunswick just now. Good morning, Matthew!

As much aa I enjoyed teaching "Lord of the Flies," I like this napkin, left behind in a coffee shop in Gander, Newfoundland, I suspect by a clergyman in the Salvation Army, who put a lot of thought into it. In NL, the SA are both a service org and regular denomination. Good morning, Matt!

From Gander, Newfoundland: Thank you, Professor Nichols, for the wise retrospective and your ability to confront and revise your earlier views--a talent that's all too rare today.

Bates sits outside the Pioneers Museum (fomer courthouse) in Colorado Springs (my hometown) looking at Pikes Peak. After her glasses were vandalized two or three times, they weren't replaced.

And look what showed up on my porch last week! I'm greatly enjoying "Name..." (The editing is deft and light, and the historian in me loves the context provided by the notes) "Schooled..." is up next.

It's almost like being in a parallel universe. (Poster courtesy Cornell University Library digital collections)

Rick, I just read your WesselMania email--fantastic! Extra points for "Parteitreuenetzfernsprechgerät" and "SA Junginfluenzkorpspartei." The latter recalled this to mind.

Good thing we have "free speech absolutists" to govern, er, rule over us.
