And here's why. I read them, then I have to sit and look out the window for a bit and decide *how* I am going to respond. In kind? Which is to say a bit silly but with some scrap of evidence that a latent, devastating wit has come in contact with your words? With my own bit of historical inaccuracies? With a little story of my U.S. History teacher in 11th grade who sported a long, silver braid and whose eyebrows were perpetually standing at attention toward the world. He was mischievous -- and famous the school over for not only riding an Indian motorcycle but sometimes wearing black, fringed leather chaps over his jeans. And he was always subverting our expectation, which was that history was no longer fluid, just because it had already passed.<br /><br />Anyway, there's my response, I guess.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740983595962649109.post-31484061579822781532013-01-10T07:29:01.128-08:002013-01-10T07:29:01.128-08:00God I wish you'd been my history teacher.
