History

Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history.

~ Abraham Lincoln

Leslie just asked me if I wanted to go see "Our American Cousin" at the theater. She said she got us balcony seats.

I said no because I know history.

Two follow up points:

1. It is possible that I made up the first part of this post.
2. Yes, I know we didn't get the Statue of Liberty until President Lincoln was dead. But I didn't have President Lincoln finger puppet.

Dammit, but LESLIE has a President Lincoln finger puppet.

This post could have been better. I'll give you that.
