Happy Birthday...assuming it's your birthday that you're celebrating.

It's funny to think of Cromwell taking over America. He always seemed like someone I might want to read more about, but I have yet to get around to it.

I suppose that England had less dissent than it might have had because people fell for that "We have the responsibility for an Empire" excuse.

I have a feeling that reading your theories on 'brideshead revisited' would be more interesting than watching it.
