| Prince William, wife Catherine, and Prince Harry |
So in case you haven’t heard, today we await the birth of Prince William’s and Duchess Catherine’s first child. It is a historic day and a historic birth. Since Prince William is heir to the throne behind his father, this child will be the third in line to the British throne. Here’s where it will be historic. This child will be queen or king in her/his own right regardless of gender. That means even if the royal baby is a girl, she will be queen. Earlier this year, Parliament finally passed a law that allows girls to inherit. So why should we care about another privileged baby being born? Well, let's turn to history.

The Death of the President
On today's date in in 1865 shortly before 8 am, President Abraham Lincoln died from a gunshot wound to the head. He would be the first president assassinated. He was only 56 years old. Wide Mary Todd Lincoln was not present having been banished from the room after she became overly distraught. Lincoln had been shot by John Wilkes Booth the previous night while attending a play in Ford's Theatre. Following his death, Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton told the room "Now he belongs to the ages/angels." There is some debate over which one he said though both are true. It is also true that Lincoln dreamed about his death three days before it happened.

Sorry About the Absence
I'm sorry about being absence the last several months. Real life took over for a while but I'll be back soon with more interesting facts about history, recommendations and reviews. Until, I highly recommend going see 'Argo' and 'Lincoln'. Not only are these two historical films sweeping the awards but they are amazing movies!

Neil Armstrong Dies
It is with a sad heart that I post that U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong has passed away at the young age of 82.

Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon as part of the Apollo 11 space mission. He also served in the Navy during the Korean War. Armstrong is best remembered for famously saying as he bounced the first few steps on the moon "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." After this final space mission for Armstrong, he became a teacher at the University of Cincinnati for eight years.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Armstrong and thank you for your service and contribution.
