I realize that I am about half a year behind the major pop-culture happenings in the United States, but I have to say how much I love the HBO miniseries "John Adams". It is brilliant! Yesterday, I watched the episode where John Adams gave his inaugural speech to the Congress, and my eyes filled with tears.
How exciting that his speech, even in an abridged form, was presented in such a way that someone today can feel the oratory power, acknowledge the meticulous crafting of the words, and understand the high ideals supporting the formation of our country!

We were also mesmerized by John Adams. Quality television that didn't involve voting someone off the show.
Jeremy might be interested in last night's 60 Minutes episode on sleep (www.cbsnews.com - You can watch a replay online). One part showed a scientist studying fruit flies mating and how lack of sleep affected performance. Go figure!
That 60 Minutes is always going on about fruit fly mating.
