Note: My Odds & Ends feature will now be published as Grape & Canister. Otis Pics A number of you who followed me on twitter have asked if I would continue to post pics of our 100 pound Bernese Mountain Dog. I ran it by Otis and he thinks it’s a great idea. Here is a recent pic of the big guy.
Congratulations on the essay for University of Nebraska Press - that’s should be an interesting and timely book.
Today’s front page of my hometown paper, the Culpeper Star-Telegram, reported on the commemoration of the Battle of Brandy Station. Some speakers were dressed as reenactors, and there was a Black pastor who spoke about Juneteenth. I’m wondering, do you think there will still be Civil War battle re-enactments in the future? And will we continue to celebrate battles, including rebel victories?
Thank you, and please thank Otis for supporting your work.
2. I saw your exchange with the author of the Watkins article in JCWE, so I used my University library access to get a copy and read it over the past couple of days. Georgia and I had a GREAT discussion about this on Friday night, I think. I think that was a very good article.
Can't wait to read the book, but even more excited to see pics of Otis. :)
Otis is adorable🐾❤️
I love the new name, Grape & Canister.
The book for which you’re writing an article sounds intriguing. I’ll be watching for it.
Otis looks great. Hope you are keeping him cool. Big black dog and a hot summer don't mix well.
Glad to hear about your article - do give us the high sign when the book comes out.
