Um … Bob, I believe there is something propped up against the wall in the T.V. room, at you know who’s place, parts of a couch perhaps? I think it needs putting together. Hint, hint.

Woohoo - ordered my first blog special. I’m in the mood for aliens - and hopefully a bit on conspiracy theory?

History is always interesting, but sometimes you have to leave out the best parts: Marilyn and the Kennedy curse.

Forgot to say that I too like the movie Now Voyager. Didn’t Bette Davis get an Academy Award for that?

I second what cc and Bcb and Mcb all said about the ‘info dump’. It isn’t that to me. I find all that history and intertwining of lives very interesting. I knew most of it since that was big news in the late sixties.
I really liked the analogy using the rope.

“History isn’t just the past. It’s the present when history is being made and the future, which develops from past events. It’s like a rope made of many threads.”

I also liked the change from “a cycle of success” to “a circle of success” making it a continuous thing instead of linear. Way to go Bob.

Love your info dump. What would it take to convince you that the first, oh, say 400 or so pages of Jefferson are info dump? Then you could cut them and post it all over here.

Did you know that Mercury is retrograde right now? It’s a planet. That’s supposed to cause travel delays, lost luggage, electronics glitches, miscommunications. Sounds like a great time to travel to Not-The-Midwest and try to communicate with What’s-Her-Name. With power tools. Be sure to back-up all your WIP. Ooooh, I know, you could just email all your work to me. For safekeeping. Really.

You know, since you’re so busy and your head hurts, maybe you could let Deb come over here and talk to us. She could do a guest blog post. We’ll behave. We’ll even be nice.

I’m going to agree and disagree with JC. The initial Hoover stuff is so well known that it doesn’t add anything, but the mob connection, Kennedy, and Hoover is interesting if you are explicating a point that means something later.

Area 51 here I come. Please sign, Bob?

Thanks for the excerpt. Don’t tell what’s her name, but sometimes I enjoy info dump.

The WDW format sounds great. I like the idea of the Circle of Success & as you say, change is a process. :))

Thanks for the cut excerpt of The Jefferson Allegiance (Very cool name). A nice teaser–my curiosity is both somewhat satisfied (I now have a clue what it will be like) and ignited. I am really looking forward to the release of the book.

“Predictably Irrational”–I looked it up on Amazon books. Intriguing. And I think we are what we focus on and that influences our decisions. Goes back to knowing the self.

Camo hardcover. Where have I heard of that before?

If someone thought that was “bad”, then I can’t wait to read the stuff that’s good, because I thought that bad was good! Is there a way to keep the lines at the end about the history is not just the past?
