"I wish I was a history buff" ...George Costanza
So, I saw on the news that the government is changing its naturalization test, and I found a quiz online with some of the questions from the test. Boy, did I do badly! I sucked! Which is insane because I can't stand the idea that people born outside of this country - new citizens - will know more about the history of this country than me, who was born in here. This bugs me because it tells me I am taking for granted the amazing gift of living here, and having freedom. On top of that, what is my favorite holiday? You guessed it - 4th of July. So I am going to study some more about the constitution and the history of the United States of America.

Missing you and Lori and Dorothy today. We had a tough weekend. Much going on...
I too would love to learn more about US History. I would love to take a history tour along the east coast. Did you go to some historic place living back there?
Oh yeah, plenty. The white house, capitol, lincoln memorial, and lots more. But I was too young to really appreciate it all and don't remember it. I grew up 20 min outside of Philadelphia and have seen the Liberty Bell tons and also Independence Hall and other historical places in Philly. About 10 years ago I went back to those places while visiting home and I totally enjoyed it, I'd love to go again.
Lori couldn't make it today- just me and dorothy. I'll call you tomorrow I wanna catch up.
