Nodding Off Gladys had moved to a retirement community and walked to a church in her new neighborhood. She was in awe of the building and the beautiful singing, but found the sermon boring. Looking around, she noticed several church members nodding off.
When the preacher finished, he encouraged congregation members to greet each other. Gladys turned to the man on her left, who was yawning and smiling.
"I'm Gladys Dunn," she said, offering her hand.
"You and me both," the man replied.

The Federalist Papers
The Federalist Papers were written and published during the years 1787 and 1788 in several New York State newspapers to persuade New York voters to ratify the proposed constitution.
In total, the Federalist Papers consist of 85 essays outlining how this new government would operate and why this type of government was the best choice for the United States of America.
All of the essays were signed 'PUBLIUS' and the actual authors of some are under dispute, but the general consensus is that Alexander Hamilton wrote 52, James Madison wrote 28, and John Jay contributed the remaining 5.
The Federalist Papers remain today as an excellent reference for anyone who wants to understand the U.S. Constitution.
