An ebook and two photos from my friend Jeff for #TBT
Posted By RichC on August 17, 2023
My friend Jeff and I regularly talk about the books we are reading over lunch or on the back porch (too infrequent though) and he sent me one to read last week. I told him I would start as soon as I finished Pappy Boyington’s “Baa Baa Black Sheep” that I’m thoroughly enjoying.
“Conservatism, A Rediscovery” by Yoram Hazony isn’t necessarily a book I would pick up without a recommendation, but noting the direction of our country, it it as least one that I hope will reinforce my political values and ideology. According to the intro text, “Hazony describes the rise and fall of Enlightenment liberalism after World War II and the present-day debates between neoconservatives and national conservatives over how to respond to liberalism and the woke left.”
No matter where the thought process eventually goes, I do appreciate the rationalization behind my personal views when it comes to politics. It should be interesting to read … and even more interesting to discuss with Jeff.

The ThrowBack Thursday #TBT component to this post were a couple of photos he sent me from one of our trips around the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests (map) and the many trails outside of Ashville NC in the 1990s. I’m not sure which one of the trips this one was … but I do appreciate the fond memories and photos. Thanks Jeff!
