The donner Party

Today we are having a hard time getting motivated, so we're going to watch one of the American Experience shows I recorded on the DVR.  It's about the Donner party and their supposed cannibalism of each other. I recently read an article that said that the researchers have recently discovered that they ate the family dog, but not each other.

Maggie tends to turn her nose up at my "educational" tv, but in the end she ends up enjoying the shows I present. I figure it's a way to watch TV, but learn something and I always quiz her when it's over. I gave her the choice of The Diary of Anne Frank, Nova or American Experience.
