When I've been carving at my desk lately, I've been listening to the audiobook "John Adams" by David McCullough. It's fascinating when you think about about the founders of our Constitution, and what's happening in the US right now. I'm at the end of Chapter 4 now, and the future 2nd President of the US is writing the "Constitution or form of government for the commonwealth of Massachusetts"...(1779) This was when the Revolutionary War was grinding on, and I think Washington was moving his troops back towards NY after their winter at Valley Forge.
