Lair of the Grouchy Historian

Wisdom from a War Chief


"When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.
Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."--
Tecumseh, Shawnee War Chief

Out with 2011----in with 2012


Well, 2011 is gone and here comes 2012.  Clearly, the Grouchy Historian was not too scholarly in 2011.  I only plowed through 18 books and 8 of them were fiction...darn good fiction, but fiction nonetheless.  Oyy, that is not good..perhaps a fallout from finishing up the MA in January and not having the pressure of academic knowledge to spur me along.

SO, 2012 is here and I am going to try and improve this mark...I figure 24 should be easily doable, and maybe 36 for a stretch goal.  Of course, brain candy will be thrown in, but I figure there is plenty on the Grouchy Historian bookshelves to choose from.

And, of course, 2012 is a critical election year, so there will be a lot of material to blog from since my pithy commentary and snarky observations were down significantly from previous years. 

Stay tuned....
