So far I’ve read:
Washington (Burns and Dunn)
Adams (McCullough)
Jefferson (R.B. Bernstein)
Madison (Rutland)
Monroe (Hart)
JQA (Nagel)
Jackson (Davis)
Van Buren (Widmer)
I know William Henry Harrison was only President for a little while, but I can’t seem to find a biography on him. Any help?

How I did it: My room mate in college was an avid knitter. When I saw her working on a baby blanket, I asked her to teach me how to knit. She took me to the craft store and we bought some needles and yarn. Then she was extremely patient in teaching me the knit stitch, over and over. Unfortunately, I picked out yarn that split easily and everytime I didn't know if a stitch was one stitch or two, I knit two. I ended up with … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I decided I wanted a tattoo last summer, and started thinking of designs. I had some ideas in mind and "tried" them out by keeping the drawn on my wrists (where I wanted the tats) in sharpie so I could see if I really wanted them or not. I finally settled on designs about a month before I actually got the tattoo. My sister has several tattoos, so she found a place for me to go. We went for my birthday! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Um, it's pretty self-explanatory. Just went to Wikipedia and hit random article a few times. Or followed links within articles to other articles. Just reading things I was interested in instead of pressuring myself to read about things I thought I should read about. Read how I did it…

In April, we went to “Donnie Mac’s Trailer Park Cuisine” which was featured on Triple D. Awesome food and the best burger I’ve ever had.

I also probably would never have come close to ever running over our mailman either.
