Just stumbled upon this gem from an 1877 KY newspaper: “We have received a poem from a young Kentuckian in California. Ten years hence he will thank us for not publishing it.” Ouch.

Shadow of chairs and a chandelier, thanks to the setting sun.

The latest issue of The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society is really great. It’s a special issue that examines abolition in the Bluegrass State. It’s up on JSTOR and Project Muse.

I’ve gotten to do some fun history-nerd things in this three-decade-long career, but having dinner at the National Archives just mere feet away from THE Declaration of Independence, THE Constitution, and THE Bill of Rights, is really an amazing highlight. Surreal. For an America250 conference.

Saw Black Sabbath in Indianapolis about six or seven years ago. Incredible show. Ozzy really held his own. Only one song (“After Forever”) was a bit off but it was all still amazing. Rival Sons opened and were also great. Good memories.
