Part necessary web-presence, part commonplace book, this website will be updated in fits and starts. It will feature musings on history and pedagogy, as well as archival miscellany that I find along the way. It is an experiment, and I hope it will be a successful one.

The title quote, as well as the tagline of the website, comes from the papers of the Sedgwick family of Massachusetts, in which I’ve been living for many years. I will quote them a lot because they’re sassy and wonderful.
