This amuses me, because it was the one I was arguing with myself whether to put for #8 when I finally settled on “Panama” (because everytime DLR does that stupid shrieky thing he does in every damn song he sings, I want to throttle him.) Funny that it ended up as the very next choice.

I didn’t hate it originally, but then it started being played at weddings, funerals, memorial services, proms, gymnasiums, on Muzak, you couldn’t escape from it and now it makes me cringe.

Anna Swan and Martin Bates
Accounts vary as to their exact height but both were well over 7’6 feet tall. By all accounts their marriage was as much a love match as a matter of practicality. They had 2 children, both of whom died at birth: one weighed 18 pounds, the other 23.
Tickets were sold for his wedding to Lavinia Warren, and later Lincoln attended a reception for the newlyweds in the White House. (The others in the wedding picture are Lavinia’s sister, who was also tiny, and her former suitor whose stage name was Commodore Nutt.)
