The Papyrus is sad to report that the result of Abe’s brave jump into the world of dating did not end well.  Perhaps it was his height, or his busy schedule, or his reserved personality, but Abe ended up with a crazy woman.  Bless her heart, but Mary Todd Lincoln went down in history as one of the country’s favorite mad mistresses. Nonetheless, today is a great day to celebrate love and honest Abe’s birthday. Happy Birthday Mr. Lincoln! And Happy Valentine’s Day to all!
