I figure to keep me writing I should observe certain events from history. Today we have a special treat, today in 1797 America witnessed the first non violent transfer of powers between two elected leaders. In this case George Washington had wrapped up his presidency and felt like going back to his plantation and handed off the cursed title of President to the newly elected John Adams. Washington most likely remarked "Terribly sorry for you John, it will not be 'fun'", to which Adams probably grabbed him by the arm and escorted him from the premises so he could finally be leader. I like Adams, and I always felt he got a bad rap, however his brother Samuel was a douche bag who I have always hated.
