Celebrating the Presidents today at the shop with 17% off one (non sale) item of your choice.  Just thinking about my favorite president.  Probably Lincoln.  The presidents of my lifetime seem so flawed but I wonder if that is simply a reflection of the changes in society.  I wonder if Washington or Lincoln could be elected today?  Did they have too many skeletons in their closets?  Did they lack the wealth needed?  Lincoln probably did but Washington was quite wealthy.  How do we know that there isn't a Lincoln out there who can't get the backing needed to be heard, let alone make it to the top?    Just some thoughts this Presidents' Day.
