Today George Washington died. Sucks, right?
Well not TODAY today, but you know, on this day like back in 1799.
Our nation's first president kicked the bucket in his home at Mount Vernon. The poor guy had been fighting some nasty respiratory illness and had been bled by doctors four times (ick).
His famous almost-last words were, "I die hard, but I am not afraid to go." His actual last words, "Tis well," were a bit less profound.
Since it would be somewhat morbid and disturbing to actually celebrate today, it would be better to keep our country's father in mind with a nice George Washington stress ball or other promotional patriotic items.
