EAP's Room at UVA
One of Mr. Jefferson‘s University’s most famous alumni is being honored by his home of Boston, Mass. with a square named in his honor. During his lifetime, Edgar Allen Poe‘s dislike for his hometown was such that he often lied about where he was from. Boston, for its part seems to be trying to strengthen the link, going so far as to naming the month of January E.A.P. month.

After an unexpected sabbatical, we are back. The posts should start appearing by this evening. We’ll look at TJ’s 4th favorite apple, celebrate John Adams James Monroe’s birthday (tomorrow), look at another something named Jefferson, and cap it off with TJ and Trees (what is up with the Tulip Poplar anyway?!?). And we’re going to try to squeeze them all in by Thursday (whew! good thing I had a week and a half off!)

I was surprised to find someone had translated this blog into another language via Google Translate. I started to play around with some of my favorite blog posts.
