Listening

I picked up a copy of David McCollough's biography of John Adams and listened to the first couple of chapters today while I was slogging through the elliptical. (Not one of my better days at that -- slower and less intensity. But I stuck out the thirty minutes.) It's an interesting sensation to be listening to a person describe the bombardment of Boston by the British fleet while hearing thumping rock music and seeing Faux News on the TV. Puts things in perspective, a little.
