I watched a special on the History Channel last night on Lincoln. Wow, that cat had it tough. Besides being a tall dude in an era of shorter people, and sticking out like a freak, his wife was wack, death in his family was constant, and he felt great amounts of guilt over the 600,000 deaths in the Civil War. Heavy stuff. Then, when he finally gets through all that and feels like life is good again (he wanted to go West and finally see Cali), Booth caps him. Damn. And what was the deal with that tall hat? If you're already taller than everybody else and you stick out like a freak, why add another 6 inches to yourself by wearing that tall hat? Poor dude. I don't get it. That cat was a bit mixed up. And yet he had a vision. Busted his butt to make it happen. Way to go Abe. You the man. As it says in D.C. in his Memorial, he truely belongs "to the ages". The History Channel, good stuff. Take care. Later, Butch
