In one month, we'll be in the Twenties all over again...
...and I wonder what it will bring. The 1820s were maybe the most forgotten era in American history, just a gray blur to most people. I'm a student of American history, and not much is coming to me as I sit here thinking about it--the Monroe Doctrine, the disputed election of 1824, the Erie Canal, maybe a few other things if I concentrate. The 1920s, of course, are perhaps the most well-known, flamboyant time in our history. I could fill a book with the things I know about *that* decade. Now we're about to embark on the Twenties all over again, and it'll be strange to think of that term--"the Twenties"--and *not* automatically think of flappers, Babe Ruth, bathtub gin, and "normalcy". My only hope is that it's as dull as the 1820s, and not as fascinating as the 1920s. I'm sick of Interesting Times...

A reason to celebrate 1920.
