26: Tarry With Me Awhile and Wait...

| New! | 1-206-350-1642—Call in and leave an audio comment! How to call from outside of the US. "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," part 1. Book talk begins at 15:20. Download 26 audio. | Shownotes | Learn the origins of the name "Tarrytown" as you listen to Geoffrey Crayon's Sketchbook. You should also check out Diedrich Knickerbocker's History of New York! Meet my man Irving (aka "Mr. Knickerbocker"...). And his spectacularly (self-)designed home on the Hudson. Someday, please plan to take advantage of the Legend. Imagine yourself as part of the Hudson River School —which I had no time to talk about but will try to get to next week. And a little on the Mather Boys, Increase and Cotton (who NAMES these people?!) and their attitudes towards Witchcraft. Here's Cotton: "Cotton Mather" by Peter Pelham.

The DomiKNITtrix's spectacularly appropriate skull pattern (which is free for a bit longer). A non-Socks-That-Rock club--NAYY but it looks nice! And a nice theory/site for socks. They're gorgeous and there's something about not-quite-matched socks that appeals to the eccentric in me... "Mismatched with Care in Vermont" I love that. And once again Thank you Heidi for goodie box! My 2-1/2 year old must march every day to "76 Trombones". Thank you so much!
