William Bradford, who came over on the Mayflower and became the Governor of Massachusetts, took many notes in a diary and then later put them altogether in a book covering the history of Plimouth Plantation.

I love YouTube. I always fall asleep trying to stay up to watch Saturday Night Live. Last night was a good one. It had Obama and the Chinese President making their remarks at a press conference. It made me laugh more because of all of the uproar over Obama recently bowing in front of the Japa...
