Just a tidbit I heard yesterday on NPR. Did you know that Lincoln was one of our least religious Presidents? He was not affliated with any religion they said, and seldom went to church. Interesting no? What if we had a non religious president today?

Also, they said that the Ford Theater (where Lincoln was assassinated) was not used for a number of years (10 I think)after Abe was killed.
As far as the holiday, I get tomorrow off and Monday (Lincoln and President's day) The advantage of working for a school.
