MiniMeanderings
A snippet blog for things that interest me, which may, or may not, have anything to do with projects I'm working on.
I'm a museum curator, social historian, amateur photographer, occasional artist, baseball fan, equestrian, sarcastic princess and a whole lot of other things rolled up in a pretty nifty package.

It is, in a way, not unlike the story of Aphra Behn, which is equally compelling and at least as suspicious in some of its content. Where the truth ends and the myth begins is hard to identify. Perhaps none of it is fictional, but it is definitely the stuff of legend.
