Trinity Fest 2005, Day Three

Don’t have much time to write about this because I am tired from the proceedings, and am about to go to bed. The official history conference (encased like one of those Russian dolls inside the larger Trinity Fest) started today at the Kibbie Dome at noon. Great set-up there, and the folks at the Kibbie …

In the course of that …

For those who are aware of this particular spray of bitterness, let this answer suffice. One of the temptations that …
