After a weekend full of mundane family matters, I returned to the researches with a burst of energy today, reading (as I need to do a great deal of) primary sources from the 1570s-90s. I also started giving my "intern" (I have a very bright young woman who will be helping me out with some of the work) some assignments. I'm excited to be getting to the material itself, though every day I deal with it I'm reminded of the missed opportunities I had to seriously study this stuff when I lived in Chapel Hill. It seems like too much to do from where I stand right now . . . but if I plug away at it, I may find that by the end of the month I've made some significant headway. A little momentum will go a long way.
