The hanging of Lincoln's assassins. Mary Surratt is on the far left |
I have no frame of reference for a marriage or relationship anniversary so that's out. I'm currently not employed, so employment anniversary is out. I could do a major event anniversary that is significant, but I can't think of one coming up (i.e., 9/11, the Kennedy assassination, etc.). Ummm. How about this?
Today, is the 147th anniversary of the first woman to be executed in the United States - Mary Surratt, for her role as conspirator in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Thank you, History Channel. It's the best I can do!
I suppose the only good thing about the horrendous assignments of the past few days is that I am able to
bang them out pretty quickly because I either have nothing to say,
nothing good to say and/or zero experience with the topic listed. Good,
because I'm really, really crazy busy right now! :-)
The next topic is Day 25 - Penguins

:) Or, aren't anniversaries just a hallmark commercialism event just like Valentine's day? One's celebration of an event should be in the living each day, not on a prescribed day determined by the general media. Why do we even celebrate birthdays, when you think about it, it is very silly. :)
