I’m Simon Barber. Here you will find stories from my attic, literal and figurative. I used to write about politics but am recovering. You will encounter no paywalls, just a presumptuous busker’s hat at the bottom of each post. Feel free to ignore it.
If you’d like the latest installment of whatever it is I’m scribbling added to the clutter in your mailbox, please consider signing up for a weekly or so Newsletter of the Old.
I live west of Washington DC between the Antietam battlefield and the Potomac River. The other day I turned 70. Here’s a form if you’d like to drop me a line.
