Wow. It’s already been a month since I
posted “On A Dusty Road in Kansas”. Perhaps this is a great opportunity to tell
you a thing about me and time. The best way to describe the relationship is
that I think in centuries and it’s all a little wibbly wobbly.
Yes. I am that girl. The one who says
“it wasn’t that long ago” and could mean anything from a few days to a few
centuries ago (that really depends on the context of the conversation). The
girl who argued with her adviser and a couple other professors that the “modern
era” should really be considered from the fall of Rome forward. I refer to
America as a young country and fully expect people to understand why. So you
can understand my surprise when I looked at the calendar and realized it had
been A WHOLE MONTH since I had posted my premier Sidetracked. It really seems
like just last week.
Never fear though. I am working on
another Sidetracked as you read this. I am switching countries and going back a
few centuries which will hopefully be fun for all. I do not want to get stuck
in a certain era or geographical area, so do not be surprised at all of my hop
scotching through history.
Speaking of hop scotching, I plan on
going all over the world and throughout time with this blog. If you have
something you would like to see me write a Sidetracked about, let me know. If I
can put a new spin on your favorite history moment, I certainly will. Just
remember me and Time – we have that funny relationship. It might just be a
little while before I get through then all.
