Call for Questions and Plans for our Online Discussion

What do you want to know?

I’ll host our first Zoom discussion for paid subscribers on Friday, October 27 at 4:00 pm Pacific Time/7:00 Eastern. We will be discussing two selections from Tocqueville’s Democracy in America, both focused on ambition: “Why the Americans Are So Restless in the Midst of their Prosperity” and “Why So Many Ambitious Men and So Little Lofty Ambition Are to be Found in the United States of America,” both freely available at the links. I will send the Zoom invitation out about a week beforehand. I will record the discussion and make the video available to paid subscribers who can’t attend (or want to relive it).

Please post questions in the comments. I’ll write answers on Sunday.

If you’re in the San Diego area, please come see me on Saturday at the Fiber Arts Fiesta at the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum (which also has a barn of looms and a building full of hand spinning equipment). I’ll be speaking and signing books at 1:00 pm. Admission is $10. Details here.
