and yes, it does help having grown up near so many historical sites. manassas, richmond, d.c., fredericksburg, etc. and of course revolution sites i've been lucky enough to go to, my favorite being yorktown. managed a trip to camden,sc a few years back-awesome stuff, including the jail where a young andrew jackson was locked up for fighting against king and country! jamestown, williamsburg..mt vernon-many times. if you ever get a chance to go to d.c. and the surrounding area, go! you will not regret it. too much history to skip.

now...if i can just get tony to drive me to new york.
the siege took six weeks but before that grant had to figure a way around the cliffs on the mississippi to set up the siege. the campaign to set up the siege is the great part. once the siege started there wasn't really any doubt about the result.

i sit here imagining almost all of derby trail nation yawning and wondering why we're not pm'ing.

screw them.
