Like I've said before. I am sure that Adams would have supported my views. He and I would have gotten along famously. My great, great, etc grandfather represented Conn. at the time. Maybe they had an Ale. Or tea.

Ummmm, abolutely! I'm not very far along in this thing yet and already I am amazed! David McCullough has this ability to write in such a way that the words come alive in your mind in a very 'cinematic' way. Great stuff!

I was just joshin. I envy your ability. I wasn't born with the ability to stay focused on too many things. Which is weird because I have a lot of patience.

I'm not upset because I have other extraordinary powers. I mentioned before that I can see through BS. And that ain't easy. Try it sometime. I can drive my truck with my knees..... Impressed yet? I can play me some bad ass licks on my guitar. If I do say so myself. I can take a nap underwater. I can throw a ball 117 mph. I can sit at home as much as I want and people send me money. I have organized million dollar deals world wide. But I can't read a comic book. So its a good thing they made a movie.
