I'm John Constance of Raleigh, North Carolina. In 2021 I became frustrated with the negative tone and content of social media and decided that the world needed a more positive alternative. I have been blessed with a wonderful life and an interesting career in Washington, DC. I decided that the people, places, and things that I had experienced could be used to brighten your day. So I started this blog.
For those of you who enjoyed Rinker Buck's New York Times bestseller, The Oregon Trail, you will love this latest account of adventure, history, and sidesplitting humor. In Life on the Mississippi, An Epic American Adventure, Buck carries us along on his experience of designing, building, and captaining a 19th century flatboat down the river from Pittsburgh to New Orleans. His encounters with the people of the river will warm your heart and boost your belief in the people of this Country. His character development in introducing us to his unique crew is brilliant and new discoveries of American history await you around every bend of the journey. Great summer reading, I recommend it with giddy enthusiasm. Avid Reader Press, 2022.
