   True, but mostly because the medical people changed the definition in 1998.

   He’s a fairly private person.

   Yes, but I think it may be different for celebs. An awful lot of people want to date their stage persona rather than an actual human being.

   You are not going to work every minute of every day, and if the family decides to visit the beach you will regret not packing a swimsuit.

   If you were their history teacher, you need to do a better job on the instruction. If you are just quizzing random kids about a history fact to prove how dumb kids these days are, I have questions. Starting with whether the kids you are asking have covered the war of 1812 in school yet, continuing to whether they think you must be asking a trick question, and ending with why you think asking random kids about a random bit of history is a meaningful gauge of anything.

   From the National Park Service web site: “Built in the shape of an Egyptian obelisk, evoking the timelessness of ancient civilizations, the Washington Monument embodies the awe, respect, and gratitude the nation felt for its most essential Founding Father.” A private society started building it in 1848, but work stalled due to lack of funds by 1854. In 1876, Congress passed a joint resolution to have the Army Corps of Engineers finish the half-completed monument.

    I believe they are paying Erin to house-sit, and she is very happy to stay there instead of at home. Cats don’t need much care anyway (food, water, litter box, a little petting if they cooperate). She’ll probably spend more time caring for the yard than the cat. And she can be out doing whatever she usually does during the day.
