just for the record, ‘just plain stupid’ is losing two of your top-grossing artists in less than six months on the job. not to mention pinning all your hopes and dreams on a karaoke singer who came in second place at a talent show. i may have just burned the house down but i made damn sure you were in it when i lit the match. i'll see you on the unemployment line.

Aaa-ooo! We have to win. What’d I miss? What’d I miss? Headfirst into a political abyss! Wha? Wha? What’d I miss? I’ve come home to this? Headfirst, into the abyss! I have my first cabinet meeting today, Chick-a-pow! I guess I’d better think of something to say I’m already on my way, Let’s get to the bottom of this… On my way. What’d I miss? Ahhh ah!

Lin-Manuel Miranda

In the time between being appointed Secretary of State and accepting/heading to New York to join the cabinet, Jefferson’s eldest daughter, Martha Jefferson married. She was named for her mother and married Thomas Mann Randolph on February 23rd, soon after her father accepted the position in the cabinet. The wedding was held at Monticello, though the couple moved to Edgehill (about two miles away) afterwards. 

After the wedding, Jefferson would head north towards New York to meet with the cabinet and join the new government.

"The real reason I love this coffee shop is due to all the memories I've accumulated within its walls. A best friend was made at that dimly-lit table in the back. I spilled my soul to a girl in the corner booth. Countless rendez-vous's and reconnections have been had in this little cafe, and it is for all of those moments that I will always feel a sense of home there. Little traces of my heart are shoved into its crevices, littered along its floor, whispering sweet choruses of what once was every time I step over the threshold." - Kyler Russell

Sir Edmund Verney, Knight Marshal of the King's Palace, bearing the Royal Standard in the thick of the fight at Edgehill, where it was captured by Parliamentary troops. Verney's loyalties were torn between his duty and conscience, so he served his king but declined to bear arms - he 'nither put on armes or buffe cote' - even though he knew it would no doubt cost him his life.Sir Edmund's body was never found, only his hand hacked off as it grasped the standard pole. A ring, with a miniature portrait of Charles I, identified the hand and was returned to his family. Art by Graham Turner.
