Happy Birthday, Abe

There is a wonderful story - possibly apocryphal - about Hodgenville, Kentucky, the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln:

It was a fine spring day in Hodgenville, and two farmers were at the general store catching up on the winter's news. One said, "Back in February Tom Lincoln's wife Nancy gave birth to a baby boy. Named him Abe. Nothing much ever happens in Hodgenville."



In peace,
