How I wish this guy was on the ballot!


Minus the antlers. I saw this creation at Maker Faire last weekend. Hope from Austin's Hot Pink Pistol made this dress, one of several "dead presidents" dresses, she said. When I asked, she said her favorite president was Abe Lincoln, in case you were wondering.

Now, my kids run from the room when I get started telling them (again) what a great man George Washington was, so I'd better not start preaching here, but these days we would be wise to learn something from his life -- the difficult days he had, and his strong leadership. Read the book by David McCoullough, 1776. It is the book that got me interested in US history for the first time. Better late than never!
