    HBO is showing the John Adams mini-series from start to finish today.

    it’s sad and embarrassing and angering to see how low and pathetic this country has fallen. From Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison to trump.

    Greek and Panamanian grandparents. That must have been an exciting family dynamic. I have a friend whose parents are Greek and Chilean, a wonderful couple.

    My wife's grandfather was born during Wilson's first term, a couple months before WWI began. He passed away a year ago. Had he made it a couple more months, he would have been around for 2 pandemics.
