Happy Birthday Mr. President

President James Madison that is. Today would be James' 258th birthday. We're on a first name basis because anyone who names their kid after you should be able to call you by your first name.

Calder's middle name, James, took a lot of thought and discussion. I think we talked more about it than his first name. Of course it's not that we didn't think Mr. Madison was worthy of the namesake. He has been called the Greatest Political Thinker in Human History and the Father of the Constitution. Those are some pretty incredible titles. Here and here are a few interesting articles you can read to learn more about him and his interesting birthday.
