Although I am related to one of the worst presidents ever, I take comfort in the fact that he was an accomplished acrobat.Jarodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00509177064265454149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927791366904103307.post-38002866560782076582006-12-20T20:03:00.001-05:002006-12-20T20:03:00.001-05:00I had no idea you were related to Buchanan.
Born ...I had no idea you were related to Buchanan.<br /><br />Born in a log cabin (common for that period, and usually drafty) on April 23, 1791, two hundred years before I graduated from high school, Buchanan was a descdendant of James I of Scotland.<br /><br />Although Jarod was a tenacious skater in his day, unlike Buchanan, who attended the American School of Acrobatics, Jarod's forays into acrobatics were limited to onstage rock-star antics: pinwheeling of the arms, Axyl Rose-esque lyrical torso swaying, and the occasional stage-dive into the waiting arms of sweaty, beer-excreting youths.<br /><br />In 1812 Buchanan opened a law firm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at that time a booming metropolis. He quickly tired of the wild city life and entered politics, at one point serving as minister to Russia. During this time he was presented with an antique kokoshnik, which he immediately refused to acknowledge.Mike Brittonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10716416401211124690noreply@blogger.com
