"That's all a man can hope for during his lifetime - to set an example - and when he is dead, to be an inspiration for history." Wm McKinley, b. 29 January 1843
"Start every day with a smile and get it over with." W.C. Fields, b. 29 January 1880
A cranky, quirky, funny dame, a cronette, divided in demeanor between fizzy optimism and dispirited melancholy (I treat the latter with new projects, the latest being an early-18th century gentleman's coat that I sewed for myself out of a length of blue denim, decorated w/ brass buttons.) An entertaining speaker I am, to many a gym or library full of students, a fine writer about dead people and things historical, a middling harmonica player and illustrator of many a book, 40 or so & counting.
