I was listening to it and thinking, "who was just talking about this the other day?" and realized that my wee brain was thinking back to this post. I will digress quickly and say that, while I feel that I have a thriving social life (as much as a woman with a toddler can, that is) I do have to wonder if I'm hitting some kind of wall when I think that blog posts that I've read were actually conversations that I had. With another person. But anyway, it did make me think of you and this post, and I thought I would pass it along in case you wanted to share it with Ms. Ludington. (Link below) The first paragraphs are kind of blah, blah, blah, but the interesting part is at the bottom where it says that Paul Revere was actually one of 16 riders and that he was eventually court marshaled for cowardice. AND that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (author of Paul Revere's Ride, as we all know) was the grandson of the man that brought the most serious charges against Paul Revere. <br />And yes it's true that I just took time from work to find the link to this news story, find this blog post and comment on it, and tell you all of this, but I didn't want to leave our conversation hanging! ;) Ok, I should probably call a friend right now and talk about something that will make seem less sketchy/stalkerish. Happy Thanksgiving!<br /><br />http://www.npr.org/2010/11/10/131220680/the-worst-u-s-naval-disaster-you-ve-never-heard-ofAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-41795006872391298222010-11-20T00:52:01.654-05:002010-11-20T00:52:01.654-05:00I now know exactly 100% more about Sybil Ludington...I now know exactly 100% more about Sybil Ludington than I did before.

The curls do make the whole thing work. Plus the horse is just awesome. <br /><br />Bravo to the kid who portrayed Phyllis Wheatley. Patrick Henry, I love your shoes. I note that Patrick Henry wears his glasses in the same fashion as I wear my reading glasses.<br /><br />My daughter did a similar thing in 7th grade, but it was all about ancient history. A lot of the boys wanted to be Cave Man or Nero.
