"Heaven forfend that I would be on the "left" coast. In order not to use that term, I always face south, and read maps upside down. Too, when my wife gives me directions, she'll tell me to 'turn not right' by which time we've passed the place to turn. My right hand never tells my "left" hand what it's doing. And of course I'll go to Heaven in the end times because I will not be "left" behind."John, the Sundown Kid

Ah, but you see, John, when I am RIGHT I am not afraid to admit it. :)

Currently mu main book is Abigail Adams by Woody Holton, about the wife of John Adams, wife and mother of two presidents.
well written, drawn from the correspondence between her and her husband. I have learned a lot of things about her and the time of the Revolutionary War.
