When I arrived in Washington, D.C., after the dental convention, I had time for some sightseeing. It was a rainy afternoon. My first stop was the Washington Monument.
I finished “John Adams” by David McCullough while on a trip to Washington, DC, and then started on Meacham’s biography of Jefferson. The John Adams biography was fantastic. I was often in tears. When he met King George III in London, after the American revolution had taken place, it was especially remarkable.
This past weekend I decided to forgo my usual Meet the Press/Face the Nation/This Week with George Stephanopoulos viewing habit and delve into a good book instead — about the father of our nation, no less.
In “His Excellency” by Joseph J. Ellis, I learned a great deal about this great leader.
