Heading to Springfield to Look for Lincoln!

I will be heading down to Springfield, Illinois tomorrow afternoon to attend the “Looking For Lincoln Springfield Premier Event” at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, which is being held on Friday evening and saturday morning.  The event will include a premier of the new PBS documentary ”Looking for Lincoln” written and presented by Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.  The keynote speaker will be Philip Kunhardt who co-authored the companion book to the series set to air on PBS on Feb. 11th, 2009. 

This will be the first time I will have attened such an event and I think it will be quite interesting to see the premier and take part in the educators workshop on saturday.  I will give a full explination of the events upon my return.

Irony!

I find it very ironic that this group of confederate reenactors would have their picture made standing on or near a SHERMAN tank!  But hey, most things confederate reenactors, sympathizers and neo-confederates do are a mystery to me.

Ok…It is Cold…I mean really cold!

Right now as I post this, it is zero out and it is forcasted to be only 2 below tomorrow as a high.

Frickin’ burrrrrr!

UPDATE 1-15-09: Right now I sit here typing and the mercury reads -11 degrees and the wind chill is -17 degress.

Artic blast indeed!!!
