Hahaha -- that sounds completely wonderful! Someone got a little distracted..
I love the descriptions of 19th century clothes, though. Everyone always talks about Roscoe Conkling wearing these totally bizarre combinations of colors--like red waistcoats and yellow striped cravats and green pants and I just think it's a cruel joke all I have are these black and white photos of him.
I had a moment of 'what am I going to do with my life?' earlier this year and considered going to school for history for about a half second. I am sure that would be a complete failure. I know in the scheme of things the big things are important but I get too carried away by minutiae..
