David M. Kahn, the executive director of the Connecticut Historical Society Museum, is stepping down in May to take a job in New Orleans as the director of the Louisiana State Museum.Kahn, who has headed the city museum for more than nine years, said that the opportunity to move to New Orleans and help a historic institution rebuild in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was an assignment he could not pass up
I've had a long-term interest in New Orleans and Louisiana history and culture," Kahn said.He acquired a personal collection of 25 rare, first-edition books on Louisiana history, and said he has family there. "There really isn't any other circumstance under which I can imagine leaving Hartford," he said. Kahn begins his work in Louisiana on May 15, three days after leaving his post in Hartford..............

So sue me, Rose. I don't want to read about politics today, I don't want to be depressed and morose, stockpiling mercury tuna under my bed. So I came to your nutmeg blog, because I like the tree------->
And because its not black. I too am over thirty and the black blogs start to get to my eyeballs. I cannot believe these stores enter ANYTHING about age in a register, that seems wrong although I can't totally put my brain on why. Except to say it seems invasive. Unnecessarily so.
for you lily, all next week, NO politics on EITHER of my blogs. well monday-friday (next). i'm tapped out myself. it just so damn ugly
yes it IS exhausting. i've not read many papers this week and the only politics i've heard about is on the blogs i read. it kind of nice to put it aside for a week, BUT on the other hand it's not really put out of my mind totally. i found a couple of articles i DID want to post but couldn't this week. i did bookmark one of them for future discussion
