Jefferson's Birthday Today 4/13/11

We do not have Jefferson's Birthday Sales at Sears & Macy's. This day only gets a humble mention on line or on the back pages of The Times & will it be mentioned in our schools today ? Perhaps at Mr. Jefferson's School in Virginia. He was a man of contradictions , wisdom , words and he had the grace to die along with Adams on the 4 th of July. I think tonight I shall surprise my wife with some humble flowers. As a man who likes , collects and works in history I think it worthy of a moment in fast paced America. Be Seeing You.
