This Day in History ...

Of course, all of the lineage of the Royal Houses can be joined up in the very early 1800's at the Royal Family in Denmark.....considered as the "Grandfather of Europe".

 

Ah yes, European Royality were incest is best.

 

​

Indeed, keeping it in the family can easily become an issue of nationalism - it's a natural pattern of progression.

European Royalty as an example, for sure.

Its Gadget....Grab him, he wanted by the Police for land fraud of 1763

 

​

Good grief, don't you fed folks ever quit ?? It was 1763 ! I was young and foolish then, okay ?

​

 

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

 

​

So moving right along in the spirit of time waits for no-one ...

Not much apparently happened this long weekend. ( It's a statutory holiday, after all. )

But Tuesday is a biggie !

Yep, because on October 10 of the year 1000 - Leif Ericson discovered 'Vinland' (now L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland) becoming the first European to reach North America.

One thing you will learn around here if you make a mistake it will be a long time before they quit making jokes and giving you a hard time about it.

Believe me I know this from experience.

 

But it is all in fun Wildchild. Think of it this way, if they didn't like you - and respect you - they wouldn't bother poking fun. But more than that ......

We LOVE YOU...!!!​

​

 

Oh I knew it was all in fun I was just truing to point that out to him. maybe I did not do such a good job of making my point.

Thank you very much for the pretty roses and I love ya right back.

It feels so good to be loved by so many I am blessed. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

 

You get back what you give out Allison.......and in your case, you believe in the Good Lord....so, yes, of course Love you and care about you.

 

Mistakes who makes mistakes.??? I certainly don't. I'm Dr. Perfect, Professor of World Knowledge. I wrote all those book you keep referring me too.

 

Pfffffffft!!!! woof woof woof.

 

While this may be a bit funny, I have written a few books but I never taut myself as being an undisputed expert in anything. There is always someone out there who has that once piece of knowledge that you missed and will be only to happy to throw it back in your face. My job is very competitive with a lot of over inflated egos.

 

cool beans. I was telling Anna the other day by some of the things she writes me in private she should try her hand at writing a romance book. she can come up with beautiful things that just blows my mind. I think she could do really well at writing a book of any kind.

 

I cannot speak to the world of fiction. It is far more different and creative than mine. I must deal strictly in facts which are often in dispute.

 

Yeppers, Every author knows that you only get published through
the time-tested practice of "Trial & Error!"
It always helps to have a very good editor and several excellent,
well-versed and proficient "Proof-Readers!"

My trouble has always been that I am not out to impress the world nor am I in competition with the fellow at say Virginia Tech or Univ of Chicago or other top historical departments. Nor am I trying to beat someone to the fast draw by getting it out there first.. I just write what I know and give my opinions and don't really care what the academic world says about it in the various journals. Everybody is on an ego trip but not me. I am not looking for a part on the History Channel. Frankly I enjoy teaching more than writing but writing is how you advance by making a name for the department. So what. I care more about having my kids enjoy the subject and learn something but that doesn't win you the prize. I don't care. I've got full tenure so stuff it. I live and sleep in my little office and now that I am rid of being department chair...just leave me alone to do my thing as I see it.
Signed,
The Hermit

 

That is the exact same sentiment, my Dad, held!
Some of his collaborative works were, both astounding and Iconic!​
