New 2025 Calendar, a Film Fundraiser

Features some of my favorite quotes from America's founders

Sorry for being a little quiet lately but I've been battling a health problem. It's a long story but, in short, I’m experience tremendous pain in my ribs, and the orthopedic doctor has put me on shingles watch. The pain is significant enough that I had to turn down an opportunity to provide coverage of election night in New York for an independent news outlet. There’s no way I can lift or drag a suitcase onto a train or plane right now. Prayers are welcome.

However, I wanted to let you know that my new 2025 calendar is available for purchase on Lulu.com. The 2025 American Phoenix calendar features historical quotes from America's founders as well as John Quincy and Louisa Adams. The proceeds from the calendar go toward making a film series about John Quincy and Louisa Adams called AMERICAN PHOENIX.

So, if you're looking for a Christmas gift, this 2025 calendar will give you and your loved ones something to think about every month, starting with Ben Franklin and his best freedom of speech quote, which he wrote when he was 16-year-old substitute printer.
