Happy Halloween! Love, Major Tom

This album just arrived. It's funny, touching, and excellent, and now I can finally learn who the heck Millard Fillmore was. I'm really excited to have this around for Nate and me. There's something strangely thrilling about knowing facts. I'm not good at remembering them, but the excitement about the possibility of remembering them thrills me. 43 different artists created a rendering of each president in the thick booklet that comes with the 3-CD set. My three favorites are Camilla Engman's Reagan, Erik Werner's Hayes, and Shari Elf's Franklin Pierce & Jane Means Appleton Pierce. My favorite song so far is "A Great Beam of Light", about Jimmy Carter, who says he's been in contact with aliens.
