Hey @uvapress.bsky.social look what they're selling at the @amrevmuseum.bsky.social!
These two. They're the best.
Deeply saddened to learn of Gordon Wood's passing. Few have had an equal impact on the study of the American Founding, or on my own intellectual development. No book is more responsible for making me a historian of early constitutional history than Wood's *The Creation of the American Republic*.
Gordon Wood. Galway, May 2017. RIP
Had a terrific time doing a keynote panel at the "America's 1776" conference at the @amphilsociety.bsky.social. Mary Sarah Bilder, Brendan McConville and Peter Onuf are A LOT of fun. Serious ideas discussed with good humor. What could be better? (Photo credit: AGR)
Look at what I discovered in one of my books today! Scots are going to be paying a wee bit more than $25 to watch football in Foxborough in the next few weeks! I miss ticket stubs, e-tickets don't evoke the same memories (and you can't use them as bookmarks!).
Terrible news.
Lapel pin choice for tonight's book launch. Jefferson (from my co-author's retirement conference), University of Edinburgh (the one I usually wear) or America 250 (NOT Freedom 250)?
Peter Onuf and I had a lot of fun launching _Jefferson Survives_ last night at the @amrevmuseum.bsky.social. Scott Stephenson was a genial interlocutor. At the signing afterwards a guest said, "You guys are like an old married couple."
Son's got his face paint, a new saltire, and a travel kilt (he doesn't want to endanger his good kilt) for his trip to the #WorldCup. I think his immigrant forebears packed a bit differently when they went to Boston in 1906.

I just received the terribly distressing news that Gordon Wood was hit by a car and killed yesterday. We were together with other Founding era scholars at the 2nd Judicial Circuit conference last week at Lake George, and he was as usual in fine fettle and as always enjoyable to talk to.
