Lincoln's Sword
Due to its regularly scheduled airtime on weekday mornings, I cannot listen “live” to The Diane Rhem show very often, but the episodes are podcasted and I try to catch up whenever I can.
This morning in the car I was very pleasantly surprised by the second hour of this episode from last month, discussion with the author of Lincoln's Sword: The Presidency and the Power of Words. Book link here.
The material covered was wonderful—the importance of writing on critical thinking and Lincoln’s composition styles, to name two—practically a Lincoln-esque sermon on the role of words in history. I highly recommend it!

Thanks, Pete. I will check them out. I feel like I am getting caught up with (not in) life lately, and a good book is always nice to have while swinging in a hammock in the spring over spring break.

Couldn't bring a hammock to the campground, so I have a cot I have in the shade instead. It has been nice. And, yes, the campground has wireless high speed. Life is good.
