What historical\/public figure would you most like to learn more about? Would you ever write about them?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a kid, I had crushes on Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, at least as TV shows and movies portrayed them. As I got older and dug deeper into their stories, I realised that there was a darker side to their stories and some of the shininess wore off.<\/p>\n

The same is true for President Kennedy, war hero, devoted husband and father, and man with an alleged mistress or two. How about Mother Teresa, who is said to have ignored basic sanitary practices in some of her facilities aand worse.<\/p>\n

You get the point. It’s hard for me to find a hero to worship. So, who would I like to learn more about, knowing that they will be imperfect?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’m going to switch things up. Instead of a person, I’m going with an event. I’d like to spend a day or two at Woodstock. Listen to the music, dance, make new friends. Embrace the vibe and find out what really<\/em> went on. No movie or collection of songs or interview with someone who was there can convey the total experience.<\/p>\n

Yes, history can and does happen in our lifetimes.<\/p>\n

Yes, I’m sure I’d find the downside. The people on bad trips. The too-long waits to go to the bathroom. No water or food. The thunderstorms and nowhere to sleep.<\/p>\n

Would I write about it? Sure, why not? I wonder how my wolf shifters would have participated to Woodstock? As a matter of fact, how would they react to psychoactive drugs? Hmm. I sense a wrinkle to a future story.<\/p>\n

Now, before I plot the future of my hero, I need to go check out who the other authors would like to know more about. Just follow the links below\u00a0 to find out.<\/p>\n

And, as always, blease stay safe until next time!<\/p>\n
