From the Past to think About the Future

A quote that I felt was very relevent to the election this year:

"My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination concieved."

--John Adams in a letter to Abigail (his wife) on his two terms as Vice President.

Ha- like being the understudy in a play,when it's put that way. Being an understudy was so insignificant for me that I can't even remember for sure if I was the one for the Baker's Wife in _Into the Woods_ or not.

Good ol' John Adams. I heard they made an HBO movie or miniseries or something about him starring Paul Giamatti that was good --
