Normally we would be celebrating Papa's birthday today, but our government decided he wasn't worthy of his own holiday...so we celebrated an inclusive Presidents Day last week.
Happy B/D George Washington....today.

Kendall, when Washington was born in 1732, the colonies (indeed the whole British Empire) were using the Julian Calander...a not so accurate measure of cosmic time. In 1752, September, the somewhat more accurate Gregorian Calender was instituted so that one went to bed on Sept. 2, and work up on Sept. 12. All dates have been adjusted for those 'lost' days. Were we still using Julie's measure you'd be correct-a-mundo, GW's day would be Feb. 11.
