There is but one to thank on “Thanksgiving”…

Listening to my son explain how when he told one of his teachers of the “Separatists” and the reason they journeyed to the America’s, she essentially told him, “that’s debatable”, really gives me a sense of the efforts to revise and/or … Continue reading
