I Want to Live in 18th Century Colonial America

So now it's sunny outside and I couldn't help but notice the smell of pine needles as I was walking next to the PAC. I think this fall has been pretty interesting at UT with actual reds, yellow, oranges and browns. It so reminds me of northern Virginia at this time of the year. I miss Williamsburg, VA in the fall/winter. I miss the yule log and the snow and the cold. If I had my choice, I would like to work at CWM later in life. I can get an M.A. in Early American History part-time while working. Then maybe they'll let me become part of the summer staff and role play as a person living in the historical town. I could learn shoeing or glass blowing or soldiering. Perhaps I could reenact a famous scene in the House of Burgesses as Patrick Henry. I wonder if anyone could imagine me playing a historical politician. Sigh. Well let's pray for cooler temperatures and snow before the end of the year.

Eric/k Malmberg's in History

I was astounded about what you can find on Google when you just type things in at random. Of course then it came to mind let's see how good those search engines really are. Well I found out "big brother" is indeed watching me. It is scary how every word or image taken of you can just show up on the internet. Where is my privacy (or was there any to begin with)?

Anyways I found out (according to the internet) that these were other Erik Malmberg's in history listed on a website somewhere:

* Erik Malmberg (1924) - chess player
* Erik Malmberg (1924, 1928, 1932) - winner in Olympic wrestling
* Erik Malmberg (2004) - Swedish musician
* Eric Malmberg (2005) - Swedish musician
* Eric Malmberg (1888-1951) - actor
* Eric Malmberg (1996) - author of books on gymnastics for kids
