    Grant. Nice guy. Great story about the scheme Mark Twain devised to get Grant to write a memoir that would support the Grant family after his rapidly pending death.

    Would this be a good name for blog: Who’s buried in Grant’s Tomb?” Or just “Grant’s Tomb?”

    I’m a little punchy from testing, writing tests, testing again, grading, and realizing that it’s only a few seniors we lose this week, and we still have the District’s tests to deliver and WHY ISN’T IT SUMMER ALREADY????
