"I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post, which any human power can give." -- Thomas Jefferson (b. 1743-04-13, d. 1826-07-04, US President 1801-1809), 1788-02-17
[To my fellow Americans: I hope that you're enjoying more than "simple bacon" for Thanksgiving, but more, I hope that you're enjoying a lovely day with family and friends for Thanksgiving. And that you're not already completely sick and tired of Christmas music (which I started hearing about a week ago, at least in radio commercials).]
