I think I’ll pick up a really big cake this weekend and take it down the the square and give out pieces to celebrate the General’s birthday.

Coleus: thanks for the post and ping.
Normally I do not ping the list for reenactments, but this is different. We no longer--as you all know--have a national day commemorating the birthday of the greatest of all Americans, The Indispensable Man.
My favorite portrait of The General: "Washington at Princeton" by Peale. (It should
more correctly be called "Washington after Princeton" since he was too busy fighting
to pose with a cannon, and that smirk on his face after beating the Brits is priceless).
As for me, tomorrow, the 277th anniversary of General Washington's birth, I will be celebrating with the Virginia side of my family near Leesburg. Three Huzzahs! for The General! May his memory live on in every American forever!!

Cool.
Now, how OLD is this guy?
I really hate how Washington is always depicted as OLD. He was in his 40s for the most part, for God’s sake.

“But he wasn’t exactly lovable, like Abe Lincoln.”
Lovable? How do you get, “lovable”?
