No huge breaking news, so I'm going to take an early night. This is quite a voyage we're on, and I'm ever so grateful for the company. [Photo by Buddy Poland]
I’ve joined to simply support your wonderful work. The more off the rails the Trump administration goes, the more I have to limit how much I read about it. Your blogs are wonderfully concise and tend to bring the events of the day into a broader perspective. So I’ll keep reading your blog and try not to read as much of the tsunami of articles Thank you so very much. Peter
Well, I’m going to picture you propped against the stern of that sweet little lobster boat, with a cold local brew in hand. You deserve it. So grateful for you. Your compassion, your insight, your directness and your ability to make sense of these times. Cheers Heather!
I have been more hopeful this weekend since I noticed the collection of kindred minds you have gathered who can seriously discuss where we are as a people in this country. I don’t think a place like this has existed for many of us since the days of being in a good class where debate was encouraged. Everything social media does is surface and short lived bits. Finding a room full of smart caring passionate folks who are trying everything to improve our place in the world is so encouraging. It wasn’t until later in life that I learned that I didn’t get enough history education. Now I can’t get enough! Thank you for bringing so much together thru your passion.
You have helped me so much through all this crap. It’s weirdly reassuring to understand the historical context. It puts things into some kind of perspective. Plus it’s very interesting and you are so generous to give us so much in these hard times. ❤️
So thankful that I have your company and wisdom on this journey. It has been quite a ride, but you smooth it down with your reasoned letters. Hope you were able to enjoy the first full day of summer. You deserve it!
We're all grateful you're taking a bit of a break. You do so much of the work for the rest of us, allowing us to preserve some sanity while not missing key developments (which aren't necessarily the most apparent developments). Given that you're in Maine, I think it's fitting that you're our lighthouse in a dark and stormy time.
As a retired middle school teacher, I dearly appreciate your succinct and fluid language which makes understanding history and its context in today's perspective more tangible. I listened to you narrate your recent book and could feel as if I were there throughout each chapter. Brava, brava Heather.
What can we do to support you? it's important to me, and all on this thread I suspect, that you have everything you need to keep at the incredible work you're doing, and the service that it is.
Good, I’m so glad...you Must take good care of yourself and not physically “burn out”....we so value your clear and just voice and want the Best for you!!!
As many have said, your brilliant blog is helping us stay sane and informed in these bizarrely troubling times. Thank you for everything you do and we definitely want you to take care of yourself! You are a precious gift to all of us.

Ten hours, folks. I'm dangerously awake today!!! :)

We are grateful to you for leading the pack - educating us - and keeping the truth at the forefront! The journey is better with others!

If this all goes to hell, can We come live with you? 🙄
The first thing I read when I open my eyes is your letter. Hope you had a good night’s sleep and thank you for your insights.
