Opening an old school Italian restaurant. Family place. There’s no advertising, no credit cards accepted, there’s not even a menu. You can have what we decide to make that night. The wine will be good, espresso comes with dessert, and the food will be out of this world.

@DanDonatoV Hopefully your own writing brings you to a home with similar views one day! When I look at these old estates, I definitely dream of building a home of similar beauty for my family one day.

I'm excited for this. The French and Indian Wars (4 of them) are fairly untapped yet ripe for storytelling: high adventure, high stakes, old enemies, fought by exceptionally tough men on both sides. My soon to debut book series is set during the 2nd one (Queen Anne's War).

@Byzness Oh man I gotta dive into this one…. Just did and the last male of the family, Theodore, was a privateer aboard the Charles II with the soon to go rogue legendary pirate Henry Every serving as the ship’s first mate. Amazing.

Used to be those hand rolled cigarillos you could get a 40 pack of online for $20 but I figured a 5 - 10 min smoke’s a bit healthier than a 15 - 25 min one.

All of your favorite writers are smokers. Some just admit it.

@BBHerodotus Amazing and brings to mind in Washington Irving's home in Tarrytown NY there's a bookshelf full of Sir Walter Scott's books and since they were close friends I imagine there's handwritten notes by Scott to Irving inside them. I'd love to know but naturally you can't touch them.

1/3 🧵Lets end the week and head into a changing of the seasons with a look at another dolmen. Staying in Ireland, the Brownshill portal dolmen (Dolmain Chnoc an Bhrúnaigh aka Kernanstown Cromlech) is a massive example of neolithic engineering.

@Clint_Davey1 Braveheart has a lot of historical inaccuracies but it's one hell of a good film. Fantastic story telling, it's impossible to watch without it provoking deep emotion within you.

When I say I like Mel Gibson as a director, I'm referring to Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto, not Braveheart.
