Hello from the airport!
Fo this long weekend, I am flying to Upstate New York, and I will be in the historic Mohawk Valley, theatre of some intense campaigning during the American War of Independence. My vacation in the area, though, has nothing to do with miniature wargaming, nor history: it will be completely dedicated to the other major and consuming passion of Desto Fante, i.e. opera.
The weather here has not been good, so we are facing some delay. Fortunately, I had a couple of good books with me. I doubt my readers will enthusiastically howl to the moon for "Monetary Policy Strategy", by Federal Reserve governor Frederic Mishkin, but I also took along Paddy Griffith's "The Art of War of Revolutionary France, 1789-1802." Interestingly, his first illustration at page 160 is... the mill of Valmy! When you say the coincidence...
Expect light posting between now and monday - but I will have Internet connection, so I hope to be able to offer some insight every now and then. Maybe during intermission.
