Everything named Concord crashed and burned as a result of overconfidence.

And then the Titanic and OceanGate Titan sank despite being “unsinkable”.

      For a few years, it seemed like everyone I knew who has having a little girl was naming them after old presidents.

      So many Kennedys and Reagans and Madisons…

      My girlfriend at the time did really like “Madison”, but I told her if we were ever to have a little girl and we’re gonna name her after a former president, we’re gonna have a little Eisenhower running around.

      She laughed (as was the intention) but agreed the trend was a little ridiculous.
