Riot and Remembrance Book Club


Since we are all gutting out the Covid-19 disaster, I thought it was time to start a book club discussion.

(I am a geek, so don't judge me)

The book I have chosen is Riot and Remembrance


Originally I was thinking about doing 1984...but the situation in our world has made me reconsider. (although if we do this right, anyone reading 1984 will see elements of that work in what has occurred with this story)

Here is a preview of the book.

The basic plan will be to do one or two chapters per week. (first week is Chapters 1-2), and then discuss the importance of the work.


You will be learning about this topic, one way or the other, by this time next year...I promise.



If you would be interesting in joining up, drop me a message in the comments, and look for the announcements of the discussion livestreams on Facebook.  If you would prefer the announcement in an email, contact me at icdno2012@gmail.com.

Down the rabbit hole I go...again

 It happens so easily...I climb up into the dome of a church in Florence with a few students...after I return to the states I see a video about that dome, one of the historians interviewed in the video is named Rocky Roggiero, I stumble across his podcast (have now listened to all 100 episodes), I buy his book, and now I am creating quizlet on the terms used in his book, because I don't now the grammar of the architecture.   Chiostro dei Morti hallenkirchen

I hate 2020

  (Disclaimer…when I am tired…by humor is sometimes dark, and often a bit dramatic.   This is not a cry for help. I really am laughing) Time for this week's "Friday Rant!’ Since I have neither the time, nor the inclination, to pour out my traumas to a trained professional, anyone who friended me on Facebook is going the have to be burdened with this one...I apologized beforehand...but seriously 2020...REALLY? Where to start? I hate having my picture taken...I wasn't always this way, literally, at one time, it was no problem for someone to snap a quick photo of me looking like I just wandered out of an opium den in Haight-Ashbury …and once, since my parents really do seem to have had really good fashion sense…and following the lead of my Dad, who never seemed to dislike the camera, I even seemed to enjoy it. ...and then it happened...baby teeth fell out, which I survived without too much trauma. My adult teeth grew in, which I don’t remember being terribly fazed ...
