I enjoy reading your fantastic blog and this is probably my favorite. Additional reading besides the two biographies mentioned above would be "the strenuous life" by Theodore Roosevelt; it is exceptionally quotable and epitomizes his ideals that allowed him to achieve so highly. also i would like to add that to live the strenuous life, it is not only to work harder at what is already being done, but to spiral out and attempt a vast array of new things, to attempt to further one’s self through experience and accomplishment, to toil and risk while fulfilling the doctrine of the strenuous life for greater personal happiness and greater value to one’s cohorts.

He is well-known for portraying Thomas Jefferson, but Holy Crap! He is astounding as Roosevelt, who was Jefferson's polar opposite in politics and personality. I met Clay and enjoyed his recent performance here in Bakersfield CA. The room rose as one in a standing ovation, after he had performed for over two hours in character. I've never seen anything to match it, and I've made my living in live theatre for twenty-five years now. It was inspiring and awakening. Go see him if he performs anywhere in a five hundred mile vicinity of you - more than worth it.
