Some turning points

My most recent at Splice Today: "Your Moment in History" and "Lessons from the 1970s and Middle-Earth."

UPDATE:

Highly impressed by Buffalo Maritime Center, where I spoke for DeWitt Clinton's 250th birthday. Look forward to riding in replica Seneca Chief one day. pic.twitter.com/f2RYesEgxZ
