I don't just write history; I'm old enough to BE history

After our family vacation all last week, I'm working in a stupor preparing the May update to www.cowart.info . God only knows if the new site additions will make sense.

I've boasted that I could write in my sleep; now, I'm doing it.

When Ginny & I visited the library to return our books this morning, two librarians asked if I'd give a talk on Jacksonville history in June. I'm flattered.

They asked if I'm an historian;I explained that I'm just a guy who is interested in Jax history and write about it out of that interest. I'm no expert at all. But they want me to give the talk for their local history month program anyhow.

The prospect scares me a little.

They were talking about inviting other librarians and folks from the Main Library's Florida History Collection — real local history experts — to this talk.

I fear being exposed as an amateur fraud... O well, I'll never learn humility without being humiliated.

Besides, what kind of utter wimp gets intimidated by librarians for Heaven's sake?

Librarians hardly ever attack.

Do they?
