“Cambridge at any time is full of ghosts…” Surreal to be back @Harvard as part of the “train of ghosts…reaching back into eternity.” Had a wonderful time reengaging with friends and students in EMR, @HarvardFolklore & @QuincyPenguins
When you say #Wisconsin you’ve said it all! Prepping a course on the #folklore of Wisconsin for Fall 2023 @uwmadgns, covering everything from cryptids, to cows, to chees curds, to brewskis, to bubblers, to #Badgers. Believe you me, you guys, it’ll be wonderful nice, you betcha!
