Watched John Adams HBO miniseries

Just finished watching the John Adams HBO miniseries. Amazing. There are some discrepancies between it and the more true-to-life book of the same name by David McCullough, whose book 1775 is also on my shelf waiting to be read. I want to read A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn, before I get on with that.

Lifting the working and poor classes to a point where they have a voice, and then making that voice heard.



save $4000
$2,000 down... $14,000 to go.

I want to save $2,000 up every month until I leave New York in September. I’ve succeeded in the first month, although I’m subsisting on ham and cheese sandwiches, Friday nights are for reading, and I have to make really good use of my nights and weekends minutes on my downgraded cell phone plan.

The most I stipulated I could save was $16,000, so I’m working towards that goal with smaller, monthly incremental goals.
