Our American Heritage

Okay - You know your excitement for blogging is catching on when your friends start sending you emails that read 'Happy President's Day w/ potential Blog topics' in the Subject line. Here are a couple of presidential facts from Laura (she sent 20, I'm just including 5).

1. Andrew Johnson never attended school. His future wife taught him to write at age 17 (sounds like he had something in common with Bill Clinton).
2. Both ambidextrous and multilingual, James Garfield could write Greek with one hand while writing Latin with the other (sounds like he had something in common with me. Kidding).
3. GWB and his wife Laura got married 3 months after meeting one another (Laura and blind date Chad?)
4. Sedated by brandy, James Polk survived gall bladder surgery at age 17 (I know a few people who do most things sedated by brandy...).
5. Calvin Coolidge required 10-11 hours of sleep and an afternoon nap every day (see last line in 'To dream or not to dream...').
