Highly recommend the HBO series, "John Adams." It began tonight.
Is it because I'm 60 that I attached myself to these images of our nation's founding. I'm all like chills and wows over the scenes of Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, Washington. Flashes of remembering the Declaration of Independence we had to memorize for US History Class. Tickled at the idea of Benjamin Franklin re-writing it on the spot, in a spare room, with a quill pen.
Must be the whole Obama magic, plus the thrill of watching Rwanda turn into a Republic. Or--how about this--the parallel development going on with myself, as I declare myself independent of sibling obligations, at least within my family of origin.
"Let these truths be self-evident: That older sisters are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and are not duty-bound to take care of younger adult brothers who have somehow lost their way.
Also recommend Gabriela Montera a pianist who does incredible improvisations upon classical music, like Pacabel, and Bach Variations. You...will....die....
But not before you swoon over this music.
