As I write this, I'm watching Abigail Adams tearfuly marry off her only daughter in the HBO mini-series. This came on right after the King documentary on The History Channel. And this morning, I finished book, The Day Lincoln Was Shot.Except for the time spent listening to the Cubs kick Astro ass as I replaced the shelf paper under the sink, I have been ensconced in American history. It's been an exciting and emotional ride and I've enjoyed it enormously.
