I thought the opening number might be something that interested Tom. He seems to like rap and he is into history. After he watched it, he said it reminded him of something he saw a few years ago. It turns out he had seen video of Miranda's White House presentation.

I thought Miranda looked familiar and, sure enough, he was in a couple of episodes of House as manic-depressive Alvie. (Google and find a clip - I forgot he did a rap on that show, too).

Another treat - google Lin-Manuel Miranda Wedding and watch the surprise he had for his new bride.

And what is that thing that happens when you hear about something and then start seeing it in more places? Miranda's name meant nothing to me before today (not getting to a lot of Broadway productions), but in my news-feed yesterday I saw he was featured in this week's NY Times "By the Book" feature.

Now I'll have to see if I can interest Tom in Eric's post. And maybe Billy, who is thinking he'd like to start his own business someday. Eric's book seems just the ticket for a budding entrepreneur.

Thanks,

Sarah

As always you are very kind. Thanks! (And, yes, the NEHGS Library is worth every second!)
