"Marinate Your Head"

I just finished watching the HBO mini-series "John Adams" and I could not help but be struck by what an incredible leader, statesman, president and husband John Adams truely was. His skills as an orator moved men to action and guided a country. In addition to Adams, David McCullough's book gives the reader an accurate and factual look at all of the men who crafted the constitution and built the framework of our nation. If you have a passion for history as I do, you will enjoy this story while finding it utterly captivating. To write about the life story of John Adams, McCullough said that he had to literally "marinate his head" in all of the facets of this great man. Maybe we all need to marinate our heads in our own history.

An Old Girl Gets a New Life

When I bought my 2002 Dodge Caravan new, I expected to get my money's worth but after seven years and 119,000 miles, I was ready to send the old gal to the bone yard. With the exception of a few minor repairs and some persistent transmission problems, she ran pretty good. I just thought that no one would want her with the high miles. Then one day, I was talking to my brother in Cleveland. He owns a remodeling and maintenance business and expressed a need for a vehicle that can carry a lot of "stuff." I then knew that the old girl had a new job.

An interesting footnote: One evening, my brother Jim affixed a Cleveland Browns sticker to the rear bumper. The next morning he found it laying on the driveway all mangled and under the rear tire. Dodge's first Smart Car!
