Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 10 Horrifying Things I Saw Watching Family Home Movies From the 1970’s

As previously mentioned, we went to Indian Head to celebrate my parents’ 49th wedding anniversary last weekend. As part of the trip down memory lane, we ended up watching some old home movies one night.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The American Election: Controversy, Campaigns and Complexity (November 2016)

I attended a presentation at RPL about the history of American elections just prior to the 2016 US election. It was a great presentation but I’ll always remember the Q&A at the end – someone asked “Who do you think will win?” and the presenter looked out, half chuckled (as did most of us in […]
