Yesterday I got to present at Chateau de Morès SHS about the relationship between TR & the Marquis de Morès during their time in the Badlands. Described as "two very big toads in a very little puddle," they had a complicated relationship, maintained on and off for about 3 years.

In this 1911 letter, a citizen asks former Pres. TR why the US doesn't buy Greenland. He believes it important for a naval base. He also believes it would keep CA in check. "We would be on three sides of Canada and if she got saucy we could squeeze her as if she was in a vice."

I was recently cast in a musical for the first time in more than a decade. It is a challenge to really rehearse real music after so many years of noodling for fun. The muscles have atrophied. But, the exercise is gratifying 🎶
