November 21--
Thank you to everyone who turned out for the final scheduled lecture about Gus Hornsby's Gamble at the Evanston History Center's historic and beautiful Dawes House.​
​
If you were unable to make any of the presentations, you are now able to view the lecture online. The Center posted a video of it on its Facebook page.

November 6--
I am struggling with the sad realization that I am just as guilty as any MAGA supporter of falling into an information echo chamber. The only difference is that the feedback loop to which I fell prey did not distort Trump.
​
It distorted America.
​
We are a mostly indecent people after all.
​
I guess the goal now is to seek out those isolated pockets of decency. Care for them. Strengthen them. Try to grow them. Help each other reach for them. Use kindness as a subversive act.
​
Let the curation of decent behaviors be a new form of resistance. Even if resistance is futile, the statement made is a self-evident good.
