Inside the White House?

"It is doubtful that any of the Masons, stonecutters, or others who came together that October day in 1792 could have imagined the interest their actions would arouse two hundred years later." (11) 

"Not all Americans come to the White House in celebration." (186)

Why Not Say What Happened Inside the White House —October 12, 2015--original blog post

This one took forever, with torturous moments, like four years in the White House.

I kept picking it up for a week or two, then losing steam.

Many other bibliolages in between sessions.

On and on, and it really was like different administrations of surrationality.

Term after term of tattered books.

No sample would quite capture it.

So what?
