Random Reflections: April 2009

http://jgzinn.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 30, 2009. In any event, as I read my way through these novels, my enjoyment increases with each one. Next is to reread "Pomfret Towers" and "Before Lunch" both of which I have read before, but remember very little about. It is especially nice to know that I have so many more to read.

Random Reflections: Reading Update - June

http://jgzinn.blogspot.com/2009/06/reading-update-june.html

Thursday, June 18, 2009. Reading Update - June. Obviously it would be easy to build up the numbers by intentionally choosing books that were short, easy to read or both. Thus far, I have avoided that temptation, basically reading what I want to read. Something that I am very pleased about is that I have done a good job of reading the books I have purchased this year rather than allowing them to lie around gathering dust.

Random Reflections: December 2008

Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Edie Ewing - Rest in Peace. It was my good fortune to know Edie Ewing for some 33 years – all of her adult life, and it was my privilege to be her friend for most of that period. Like all of you I have been thinking a lot about her and have come to focus on two things that I would like to talk about tonight. The first is what was it that made Edie such a special person? Trust me I have enough honesty about myself to know that in the course of over 3 decades she saw me say an...

Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Setting the Record Straight. 234 Monarch Hill Road. Tumbridge, Vermont 05077. Dear Sir or Madam:. Scott Boyd’s article (“States Lagging on 150th”) in the June issue of Civil War News calls needed attention to the slow pace at which states are working on the upcoming Civil War Sesquicentennial. There is, however, at least one state whose name needs to be added to those already in the field – New Jersey. A number of other projects are in various stages of development. These incl...

Random Reflections: The Spanish Tragedy

http://jgzinn.blogspot.com/2009/07/spanish-tragedy.html

Saturday, July 4, 2009. Thomas Kyd was a contemporary of Shakespeare or more specifically a playwright who preceded the Bard both chronologically and artistically. Kyd's most famous work was "The Spanish Tragedy," a revenge tragedy which was apparently very successful on the Elizabeth stage. The work has multiple revenge themes including a character named simply revenge, who provides a chorus like function commenting on the action of each act. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Random Reflections: October 2008

http://jgzinn.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 30, 2008. New Jersey 150th Civil War Anniversary Part II. Yesterday was the second meeting of our ad hoc group that is discussing how New Jersey might observe the 150th anniversary of the Civil War beginning in 2011. We had a good meeting, the commitment of the group is high and I think we are off to a good start. Most of the work so far has been on basic organizational issues and how we should broaden the group to include the whole state. Monday, October 27, 2008. John C. Calhoun.
