Happy Birthday, President Lincoln


February 12, 2009 is Abraham Lincoln’s 200th Birthday (or would be, if he were an immortal).  I’ll be celebrating by working for the National Park Service, videotaping their bicentennial events at and around the Lincoln Home site from the 12th to the 15th.  They’re all free, so stop by and enjoy some historicatin’ (my new word – use it frequently.  Copyright 2009).
