Things I've Learned While Learning Other Things
An idiosyncratic, eclectic look at all things Human. History, War, Sociology, Music, Sports, Politics (little I hope), Philosophy, Artists, Genius, Literature & More because I can't help myself...The interconnectedness of everything in life is astounding. Or, maybe it's just my brother & me!
