-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On those rare occasions that free time appears in my schedule, I like to read novels. I've never been much of a sci-fi fan, but recently I've been reading a series of "alternate history" novels. In this one, Nantucket Island is suddenly transported 3,000 years into the past. How would a small group of people, with modern values and dependent on technology, survive in the primitive past? How would the people of that time deal with them? The author must have had a good time writing these books, thinking about our relationship with the past.
Another thing I like to do is go to a blog called "Shorpy", featuring lots of interesting photos, mostly from 70 to 150 years ago. It's hard to believe that my great-grandparents, whom my own mother knew well, had already reached middle age before airplanes and cars were invented. Looking at the now-lost scenes of everyday life they experienced is really fascinating, especially when you realize that so many of these things that seem so alien to us really happened, and not so long ago!
