Heh, I think I knew what you meant...:)
I am a big history buff, so it is a lot of fun living in this area. (Politics suck immaculate, though)
I went to a museum last Saturday in Springfield, MA, and they have a desk there that was used by John Brown (yes, THE John Brown) when he worked as a clerk at a factory in that city!
Genealogy gets one interested in history.
I sure didn't care about history in High School.
