I’ve been selected to be a presenter at this year’s History Camp Boston - August 9th. My topic will be baseball and the presidents. It’s fair to say I’ve had a lifelong infatuation with each. Or some might say obsession. They draw history lovers from all over the country. It’s a pretty cool gathering each year for people who, like me, tend to geek out on this stuff. Sure, some of them may have a screw loose (or two), but then, so do I. Check out their program, just released yesterday. They're profiling a host of intriguing topics, as usual. And I'm sure you'll agree the presenters they've got lined up for this year are truly extraordinary. Registration opened today too. I’m honored to be involved, and energized at the thought of how I could go about doing this subject justice. Looking forward to it.

She adds an ornament every year too. I've got to put an eagle or Lady Liberty on the top. So far only the more notable ones are represented (not quite as exclusive as Rushmore but close) - and a few of the wives. She’s working on a McFadden ornament. And one of Denyse, of course. :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/d928e2a2-0c6c-4c4b-9f99-14f2a24a24ef/bloody+mary.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1699883240385-7M6KEN15TE1OW3N8NOAP/Kaitlan+Collins.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/c90ad833-ebff-40a9-92c9-ce662ea1d36b/Sandy+Wolkon+Spector+%28Martha+Washington+impersonator%29.PNG Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1695064901843-ALIFPKZFJIGZIJ75WREH/Books+%26+brews.PNG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1695065159819-DD0ZNO1HU75Y5F4D8WQ6/Books+%26+Brews+2.PNG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1693669617331-BEU50KC5VQ4YXMZ3IDAR/Dan+at+Williamsport+3.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1693669639750-BMI9ZCD9UH6P68V3UWTZ/Dan+at+Williamsport.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1693669706526-T3O9G9LMOH60M65ND7KN/Dan+at+Williamsport+4.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1693669747882-7R498DMNI667NBX06IQY/Dan+at+Williamsport+2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1691940960840-XINM4KGIBRRBOR0JEB44/Ben+Franklin.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1691940987924-7I2V0ZWZ7QELGW6H08L4/Louisa+Adams.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1691941015880-X16PVOGGP4EEFSJSW5CH/Henry+knox.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1691941066544-YX0ZFK2SQ3IRDQT6RAAT/Martha+Washington.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/ad10192a-8d61-4ea0-88a9-ab44686ba0e7/History+Camp+logo.PNG Home - Make it stand out August 11, 2023: I’ll be among many authors appearing and signing books in Boston this weekend at the History Camp.

Oyster Bay, New York. I enjoyed attending this event last night so much. Hosted by Theodore's Books, former Congressman Steve Israel interviews presidential historian Alexis Coe at the Raynham Hall Museum in front of a very fitting backdrop - a mural of the Battle of Long Island. I read her biography of George Washington, "You Never Forget Your First" when it was assigned to my son Tommy's AP History. Loved it. She brings such a fresh, unique approach to presidential history.

He relishes this escape and the camaraderie with his new drinking buddies who understand his problems and sympathize with him. When he realizes that they all want only the best for both him and the country, unlike what he experiences in Washington each day, he starts to wonder if somehow this saloon can have greater value. Can he tap into the collective wisdom of Washington, Jefferson, the Roosevelts, Kennedy, Reagan and all the others to craft a solution to fix the country’s broken and divisive political dynamic? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1234a599-ab24-452c-819b-d3210f896cba/Amazon+71.JPG Home - Make it stand out Ratings and reviews have been glowing for Presidential Spirits on places like Amazon, Good Reads and Readers’ Favorite. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1582554258487-L898XX1K8DEHP7VMJTP0/booklife_bio_picture.jpg Home - We’re better than this Watching the news each night and seeing the polarization, dysfunction and nastiness that our national politics has devolved into was exhausting. I wanted desperately to do something about it. Then I got an idea. I sat down each night and started writing, and didn’t stop for a year and a half. I liked what I wrote, got an indie publisher to bite on it (Goose River Press), and here we go. I loved writing it, and found it therapeutic. I love history, I’m a political junkie, and I’ve been in a few saloons in my life. I did a ton of research for this, and most of the words of the presidents come directly from their memoirs, speeches, interviews or letters. I threw in a lively array of supporting characters on the staff of both the White House and the saloon as well. It’s a love letter to America, and a wake up call. We are better than this. So much better. I hope you choose to spend a little time in the saloon.

How About Reregistering as Republicans For 2024? - SMERCONISH I had a chance to attend a gathering of people in Philadelphia at the National Convention Center a few weeks ago to address our present state of political dysfunction and polarization in this country called the Unconvention - I don't love that name but I loved the thought of gathering minds to confront this incredibly challenging issue. So many people I met there were chomping at the bit do something, and do it now in advance of the 2024 election. Everyone I met at this event wanted to talk about what can we do now? After giving that question considerable thought, I wrote an essay floating a bold proposal that independents can employ right now that could possibly make a bit of a difference in 2024. It's not perfect - no solution is - but something has to be done now, in my opinion. This may be the best option. It would take a monumental effort, but this could help. https://dancoonanauthor.com/writing-lessons-i-learned-in-this-process daily 0.75 2023-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1586639864479-TY5J5DKZLO17RC5EHPVL/Day+One.JPG Writing Lessons I Learned in this Process - August 12, 2017 Day 1, Chapter One.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” https://dancoonanauthor.com/split-the-room-game daily 0.75 2021-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e578144c2611bbe7bb6b3/1587581896043-2N4VUUS7XH6YE64C3BUR/Nickie%27s.JPG Split the Room Game - NICKIES TAVERN Nickies was a classic bar located on Eddy Street in South Bend in the 70’s and 80’s just a few blocks away from the ND campus - across the street from Corby’s, The Commons and Bridget McGuire’s.
