About Me

I have posted many, many blogs. Besides the five posted above you can search through the old ones I have posted over the past two years. This will give you an idea of my many interests. My favorite monarch, Richard III
This is the last scene from Henry VI, part 3 when Richard of Gloucester dispatches the king. We are all as God made us . . . and many of us much worse.
