  2. Our 2023 Road Trip #21: The Andrew Johnson Fan Club

    Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: Every year since 1999 Anne and I have taken one road trip to a different part of the United States and seen attractions, wonders, and events we didn’t have back home. From 1999 to 2003 we did so as best friends; from 2004 to the present, as husband and wife. After years of contenting ourselves with everyday life in Indianapolis and any nearby places that also had comics and toy shops, we overcame some of our self-imposed limitations and resolved as a team to leave the comforts of home for annual chances to see creative, exciting, breathtaking, outlandish, historical, and/or bewildering new sights in states beyond our own. We’re the Goldens. This is who we are and what we do. For 2023 it was time at last to venture to the Carolinas, the only southern states we hadn't yet visited... ...which we exited after breakfast on Day Six. We spent the rest of our last full day in Tennessee, where we checked off an item on another to-do list of ours. On past trips we’d visited the graves, tombs, mausoleums and virtual posthumous palaces of the Presidents of the United States of America with varying accommodations and budgets. As our sole long-distance driver and a part-time retro-gamer who's a fan of side quests, I’ve enjoyed those little jaunts so much that we've been planning our recent vacations around them. We don't know if we'll get to every dead President, but it's fun trying. And that means every American President, not just your fan-favorites. We've seen James Buchanan's in southern Pennsylvania, Chester A. Arthur's in Albany, and even Warren Harding's giant Greek temple in Ohio. They can't all be Best Presidents Ever, and they're all interred somewhere. Some are fancier than others, but nary a President has ended up in a potter's field. So far, so good. […]

  3. John Tyler is the only US president to have had virtually all of his cabinet resign in protest over his veto of a tariff bill; all but his Secretary of State, Daniel Webster, resigned in protest. On his birthday, 10 John Tyler facts.

  4. Today marks the anniversary of the first inauguration of John Adams in 1797. This occasion marked the first peaceful transition of power between heads of state. A cornerstone moment in the great experiment of democracy.

    In John Adams inauguration address he said:

    "Returning to the bosom of my country after a painful separation from it for ten years, I had the honor to be elected to a station under the new order of things, and I have repeatedly laid myself under the most serious obligations to support the Constitution. The operation of it has equaled the most sanguine expectations of its friends, and from an habitual attention to it, satisfaction in its administration, and delight in its effects upon the peace, order, prosperity, and happiness of the nation I have acquired an habitual attachment to it and veneration for it."

    "What other form of government, indeed, can so well deserve our esteem and love?"

    "There may be little solidity in an ancient idea that congregations of men into cities and nations are the most pleasing objects in the sight of superior intelligences, but this is very certain, that to a benevolent human mind there can be no spectacle presented by any nation more pleasing, more noble, majestic, or august, than an assembly like that which has so often been seen in this and the other Chamber of Congress, of a Government in which the Executive authority, as well as that of all the branches of the Legislature, are exercised by citizens selected at regular periods by their neighbors to make and execute laws for the general good. Can anything essential, anything more than mere ornament and decoration, be added to this by robes and diamonds? Can authority be more amiable and respectable when it descends from accidents or institutions established in remote antiquity than when it springs fresh from the hearts and judgments of an honest and enlightened people?"

    "In the midst of these pleasing ideas we should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections. If an election is to be determined by a majority of a single vote, and that can be procured by a party through artifice or corruption, the Government may be the choice of a party for its own ends, not of the nation for the national good. If that solitary suffrage can be obtained by foreign nations by flattery or menaces, by fraud or violence, by terror, intrigue, or venality, the Government may not be the choice of the American people, but of foreign nations. It may be foreign nations who govern us, and not we, the people, who govern ourselves; and candid men will acknowledge that in such cases choice would have little advantage to boast of over lot or chance."

    In a letter to his wife the next day, Adams wrote:

    "In the Chamber of the House of Representatives, was a Multitude as great as the Space could contain, and I believe Scarcely a dry Eye but Washingtons. The Sight of the Sun Setting full orbut and another rising tho less Splendid, was a novelty." 

    His full inauguration address is available here:

    When my family and I took a tour of Congress Hall in Philadelphia, we sat in the room where this ceremony took place. Apparently, at that time many people believed that George Washington would not willingly relinquish his office. The park ranger told us that the crowd that Adams described came to see if this peaceful transition of power would indeed, really take place. A novelty, indeed! 

    We should not take for granted how novel this is, how fortunate citizens of the USA have been to see this tradition honored and preserved, and how easily it could all be lost.

  6. Happy Presidents’ Day (2026)!

    I have been busy lately. For that reason I did not have time to do anything special for President's Day. I present a quote from an article I wrote about an interesting passage from the Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge: As I looked on him and realized that he personally represented the glory and dignity of the United States I wondered how it felt to bear so much responsibility and little thought I should ever know. Calvin Coolidge reflecting on seeing then-President Benjamin […]

  20. You know what? I've got like twenty big boy books on #USPresidents. I've spent hundreds of hours listening and watching and reading about these people.

    I'm also deeply engaged in #UKPolitics and try to be as informed as possible...

    And even then, with all that context, I find the idea of watching political debates to be so exhausting and anxiety inducing that I just can't do it.

    Doesn't matter what side of the Atlantic they're on, they're always a complete nightmare for me.
