This means essentially everything, for everything is history as soon as it slips into the past. Thursday, February 28, 2013. I have picked a topic for my master's thesis here at good ol' USFSP. My main area of study is colonial Spanish St. Augustine, mainly during the Second Spanish Period (1784-1821). Another question is to see how much the law was either bent or completely ignored! That topic app...

Clio's Daughter: The term is over!
http://cliosdaughter.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-term-is-over.html
Adventures of a historian, comments about history and how it is done, and anything else related to history. This means essentially everything, for everything is history as soon as it slips into the past. Thursday, May 9, 2013. The term is over! I think there is such a thing as "truth," though it may not always - or ever - be absolute. I think we can say things about the past that are true, and from which we can learn. The seminar in Modern Florida was not that tough, but there was a lot of reading, some ...

Thoughts on books, including those I've written and those I've read, and meandering into other topics related to them. Tuesday, September 28, 2010. A Book that Changed My Life. People talk about books that changed their lives. There is one which had a profound impact on mine, whether you agree philosophically (or politically) or not. That book was Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique. Don't believe things like that happened? Take it from me, they did. And much worse. Did it make me a man-hating feminazi?

The Blog Quips and Tips for Successful Writers. Says in this entry that we should not outline because, briefly:. It dulls the urge to tell a story. It makes writing a duty rather than fun.
