Presidents redux
A year and a half ago, in April 2002 I started a project to read a biography of each of the US Presidents, in the order of their terms.
I read Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and I ended up skimming Madison and Monroe, before I kinda ran out of steam. Part of the problem was that the Madison and Monroe books were not very well written, and I eventually put them down.
I'm gonna try and pick it up again. Today I got out of the library James Madison by Garry Wills, Times Books American Presidents Series, 2002.
I'll let you know how it comes out.

How it comes out? He wins the presidency. That's how it comes out.
His wife goes on to make really great snack cakes.
Sheesh, it's not like it's Rosebud or anything.
