A Room with a view – definitely!
Posted by: Jolvin on: July 12, 2008
I’m amazed how my ‘imminent’ death has gathered so much attention… 
For one I am staying at the Historic District in Philadelphia – The most important place in American History. Besides after all my cribbing on the view from my window, I walked around the hotel today and realised that it’s the view of the Christ Church cemetary where four signatories of the Declaration of Independence are buried, including one Mr. Benjamin Franklin. Now that’s definitely a view of history.
The pennies on the grave are in memory of one of Benjamin Franklin’s famous quotes “A penny saved is a penny earned.”

Now that you speak of pennies being saved, one more person, who rarely comments, will soon make his presence felt.
