You can celebrate President William McKinley's birthday today -- January 29 -- but it is too late to attend the ceremony and festivities in Canton, Ohio .. they took place this morning.

Every year on the anniversary of FDR's birthday (January 30) and of his death (April 12) ... and other deceased presidents ... there is a service with military honors at the grave of the late former president.
In the case of FDR, the service is followed by cake and refreshments in the presidential library. I have attended a number of these annual events. After the service and refreshments, I take my guest(s) to dinner at the Beekman Arms in Rhinebeck, NY. The Beekman Arms was one of FDR's favorite restaurants.
Another of FDR's favorites was Saltsman's in Ephratah, NY just above Canajoharie. Every year he drove up to visit cousins who ran the Roosevelt's car dealership in Canajoharie. He would take his cousins to Saltsman's for dinner. The place was still open a couple of years ago. I will have to check it out again in the spring.

About 30 years ago, I set the goal of visiting every presidential library and/or museum and as many of the birthplaces or homes of our former presidents. I still have to hit the ones in Tennessee, Texas and California.
A few - like Jefferson's, Martin Van Buren's, Theodore Roosevelt's , Franklin Roosevelt's and the Adamses' -- Ihave been to a number of times.
The nice thing about attending the ceremonies at the Roosevelt estate in Hyde Park is that a few of his descendants still attend. His grandson, who has since died, was always a wonderful person to talk with about FDR.

they are like the tombs of Egyptian Pharoahs.......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
they are like the tombs of Egyptian Pharoahs.......
I am more interested in their homes and libraries -- not so much their tombs.
Anyway, they are interesting to me ... just like some people enjoy going to malls or tenting in a mosquito ridden forest.
