History In The Digital Age.
I remember the first time someone introduced me publicly as a historian. I had never self-identified as one. I have an undergraduate degree in Art History and, as many regular readers already know (yay all of you!), restoring the bricks and more importantly the narrative of John Jay’s home in Rye, New York has been my passion for nearly a decade. When my children were each filling in the Common App for college, the field for “Father’s Occupation” was a snap but “Mother’s Occupation” was a stumper. None of the 45 generic drop-down categories quite captured “full-time volunteer preservationist, nonprofit historic site director, researcher and writer.” In the end, they assured me it was not a reflection of my deficit of pie-baking skills or nest-building capacity that made them immediately reject “Homemaker;” nor the fact that our dining room table is completely unusable, laden as it is with antique maps, diaries and indentures. True to their upbringing to challenge limitations or perhaps just expand definitions, my son and daughter affirmatively checked the box “Other.”

Mah Jong Memory
I remember mah jong through a haze of memory and my mother’s Benson & Hedges cigarette smoke. The mysterious ivory tiles, abundant in number and exotic in design took center stage on a card table in our living room, set on long, sleek wooden racks with surplus tiles stacked in rows and others spilling into the table’s center.
