Thank you! It was a more difficult one to write, because I didn't want to get too many historical facts wrong and had to spend an inordinate amount of time researching - it's like an iceberg, most of the research doesn't show above the surface, but it was fun.
I think there is definitely scopr for more adventures with Ben and Sam. A mischievous ghost should be able to find adequate mischief in wandering around the US, visiting libraries for Interweb access. And they'll be plenty of time for old Ben to discover the word "wankerous" and apply it appropriately. Perhaps... hmmm... I'll talk to my Mom (my biggest fan and favorite critic), but MAYBE -- just maybe -- this story could become the future book I've been daydreaming about writing! An old gal needs her hobbies, after all. If I follow that route, I'd better get my hands on a copy of "Poor Richard's Almanack," though. 🤣
There's definitely more scope for more adventures! They are both very likeable characters after all. So you could definitely do a lovely book here.
One thing you could have Ben discovering is that the current presidential incumbent is not in fact that out of the ordinary as presidents go, and there's been a litany of evil ones, all of them violating the spirit of the constitution and acting like tyrants and colonialists all over the world. It would be enlightening.
What an appropriate piece of “fiction”!
Thankee. Scoot's prompts just led the way...
Wow. Wonderful, Jeannine!
Thank you so much!
Superb and delightful! This is one of your best ones!
Ah - but you left out the word 'wankerous'!!! Perhaps there could be a sequel - or their ongoing adventures!

I have a feeling that Benjamin Franklin would have a good time making fun of the powerful... that old ghost has a lot of work ahead of him!
