16 March will be the debut on US TV of the HBO mini-series "John Adams" based on David McCullough's Pulitzer Prize winning book by the same name.

( oh, jeez, here she goes blathering on about Adams again ... in the form of a review )

I should also do my occasional promotion of the great work of United First Parish Church in Quincy, Mass. Their work (in the footsteps of this great man ... actually, over the very body of this great man since John and Abigail are buried in the church's crypt cellar) for gender equality, the right of all people (including gay people, of course) to marry and enjoy the rights afforded all others, the establishment of the bedrock of science and reason in our schools, and so much more is carried on there.

The House/Wilson novel is wrapping up ... *sniff*. I don't want to see it end. I'm having a great time with it. It has had bumps in the roads, as all novels do, but it has been mainly fun. I know I owe everyone email -- it's on its way shortly.
