i realized it was his birthday when it was too late last night. otherwise i would have made US map and lincoln head cookies.. I still plan on doing it for presidents day though. Helps that I have the day off.
wish i could get up there for penny admission, that is awesome!
Such a great photo!
shouldn't we be saying happy birthday to Darwin too?
he is 200 today too :D
And Darwin! Don't forget Darwin! In the long-term scale of things, he did a hell of a lot more than some politician. He single-handedly reshaped the way thinking people see the world.
