one if by land, two if by sea

Today is Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 200th birthday! I hear he still lives independently, in the house she shares with his second wife in Cambridge. (wink, wink)

god bless old longfellow. thanks for posting the birthday notice, lindsay. let's all spend a few minutes trying to remember a line or two from "the midnight ride of paul revere" or "hiawatha."
