With all the craziness at the moment it seems trivial to try to sell books, but here I go: if you like stories about houses, if you're curious about why authors like Woolf, Forster, DuMaurier, etc., wrote fiction about particular houses, here's my book about it. DM if you'd like a copy.

Remember their names for the History books when future generations want to know why diseases that were eradicated in the 20th century made a comeback in the 21st century…

Your definition of a hero is good and broad, but I also like the Carnegie Hero Fund’s:
A civilian
Who voluntarily
Leaves a place of safety
And risks their life
To save, or attempt to save, the life of another.
Al Haynes, e.g., was superbly competent, but not a hero.

“Midnight Anvil” written by Seamus Heaney to celebrate New Year's Eve #NYE (1999).
If I wasn't there
When Barney Devlin hammered
The midnight anvil
I still can hear it: twelve blows
Struck for the millennium.
His nephew heard it
In Edmonton, Alberta:
The cellular phone
Held high as a horse’s ear
