"I know too much; I have stuffed too many of the facts of History and Science into my intellectuals. My eyes have grown dim over books; believing in geological periods, cave-dwellers, Chinese Dynasties, and the fixed stars has prematurely aged me." - Logan Pearsall Smith, 1902

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 🎶

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."
