Recently, I have been submitting posts showing progress on the writing of my MS about a metaphorical Windigo and the state of the world today. I am pleased to relate that the MS has been published on Amazon as a Kindle eBook. The date of publication was October 12, 2021, Indigenous People’s Day. Indigenous Peoples […] Some of my ancestors were active participants in the invasion of what is now called “New England.” In my manuscript I relate a portion of the story of how they confiscated the land of New England in Massachusetts and Connecticut. They founded Springfield, Massachusetts and several other towns, of course without […] For the last couple of years I have been working on a manuscript centered initially on the movements of my family starting in the seventeenth century.

It is so tiresome writing on this blog, writing about things for which I feel I have a useful message, with virtually no one reading what I write, and yet […] Last night came the welcome news that Osama bin Laden is no more. There are those who will say that they will seek revenge against the Crusaders for murdering the apostle of a return to the seventh century. Never mind that bin Laden, or at least al Qaeda collectively, has killed far more Muslims than […] Today I received an email from Care 2 action Alerts soliciting my signature on a petition to seek punishment for a soccer player from Panama who apparently kicked the live owl mascot of the opposing team from Colombia.
