So, as most people who know me know, I have been working on a project to read a biography of each US President. The original goal was to do it within the year when I set the goal. I got off to a respectable start, but then I stalled out. I chose too many of the presidents in which I had burning interest in the beginning and then was left with swaths of president that just didn’t move me. But then I caught a cold and watched a documentary on President Johnson, Lyndon, not Andrew, and my passion was reignited. So when I set birthday goals this year, I decided that I wanted to make a certain amount of progress on Project President and assigned myself to read biographies on Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover. Mission accomplished. I even threw Franklin Pierce in there just for thrills I am now much, much closer to my goal of reading a biography about each President, which is giving me the inspiration and information I need for Project Presidential Poems.
I love crossing things off of lists! Makes me happy.
