I had no idea that a post at Pothos would result in t...

More visuals?
HI Marcus et al: I have hundreds of pictures from my trip to Greece in June, most of them in some way Alexander-related (though of course since they were all taken in Greece they relate to his formative years and just one of his campaigns only). I wonder if I could provide illustrations to some of t...

everything hinges on me personally A truer summation of your entire worldview you've never written. Hi Pothosians -- I haven't even been lurking of late, in part due to another fictional project that has thoroughly seized me and in part due to my helpless addiction to American politics, which of co...

Official American imperialist monograph cites Alexander
The Office of Net Assessment (ONA) is an obscure but powerful think-tank within the U.S. Pentagon, mandated to offer visionary military ideas. I was happily reading my favourite progressive political blog (Daily Kos) this morning when I happened on an item citing the investigative magazine Mother Jo...

Leaving today
Well, it's beyond excitement at this point -- I take off this afternoon. I wrote a travel-blog post about what this means to me, and thinking about it enough to express it in writing put me in tears. Cross-posting: In a way, this is only becoming real for me now. Even though I decided to do this a c...

Karen - I'm actually leaving Greece on the 16th (a public holiday, so driving back to the airport will be fun) - think I might be battling through departures as you come through arrivals - oh, what a shame... Yeah, dang. Maybe next time. As for the time of year - better now than in July / August......
