I think Alley and I are going to visit Monticello again some time soon. We've both been before, but not together. I'm pretty sure we'll both spend the most time gawking at Jefferson's book-reading thingy, and the kitchen.
A writer asked me here who my favorite architecture is and I said Jefferson. He was surprised that TJ was an architect -- he was a polymath. Have you been to UVA and Monticello, his nearby home, which is filled with wonders at the time like vertical dumb waiters. It's amazing. I go once every two years and meet friends.
Thank you so much for sharing my story, Ben. Incredibly kind of you! 🙏
Justin, well deserved. Thanks for sharing such a great piece with us. Ben

The handwriting copier is pretty darn cool, as is the kitchen with its dumbwaiter. Monticello is spectacular, especially at this time of year.
Thank you for the mention, Ben! I always appreciate how varied your recommendations are.
Rebecca, you're most welcome. Believe me, it's easy to recommend your work.
Thanks for the recommendation, most kind.
My pleasure. Thanks for sharing such a great piece. I really enjoyed it. Ben.

Seven times, wow. You're an honorary Wahoo. You're correct about the last Renaissance Man. I think Time chose him as the man of the last millenium.
