Thanks for this. I haven't thought about the Canterbury Tales in a long time, but I like the idea that The Knight's Tale provides a grounding for the others. I recalled that there is some uncertainty about the ordering of the tales, but the knight's seems to come first consistently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_The_Canterbury_Tales.

I also want to thank you for your General Eclectic podcast. I often listen when I'm doing household chores. My favorite episode was probably the one with Jessica Hooten Wilson.

Now that my kids are grown, I'm trying to find a Catholic, classical school where I might make myself useful teaching. My wife says "I have one move left in me, and it's to someplace with less winter." (We're in New Hampshire.) Given that we're free to move, and knowing that you teach, I wonder if you have a recommendation about how I should proceed. I suspect high schools are rightly wary of someone in his fifties with a software background who proposes to relocate in order to teach. I'm at hardt@substack.com.

Again, thanks for all your good work, and may God bless you and your family.

Michael
