My mom just showed me a magazine sized 'Program' for inauguration of FDR, dated for January of '41. She found it in my paternal grandmother's papers recently. It's in very good shape, surprisingly so TBH.

The one thing everyone knows about Henry VIII is he couldn't form a stable relationship with a woman and flitted from one to the next until he'd clocked up six marriages. True, and yet not really true; the reality which tends to get lost in the 6-wives meme is that his first marriage was a long and not unhappy one. He and Catherine of Aragon very nearly got to celebrate their silver anniversary*. Check this great little mathographic of Henry's reign from The New Statesman:



*Because of the circumstances, there are more than one date which mark the end of the marriage, from Henry's secret marriage to Anne Boleyn on November 14 1532 to Cranmer's ruling on 23 May 1533.

I'm hoping to see a write-up of this and its implications one day in a blog about history. Any blog. About history.

edit: Wow, I just saw the date on that shit. Better check the archives. :doh:

Artifacts of a Doomed Expedition

My only comment on this article is to say that you should read it. Even if you have never heard of the Franklin expedition or have zero interest in the history of Arctic exploration, read the damn thing anyway!

Nah, that's a Livius with a capital 'L'. Can't be ours. Probably Livius242&^ or someone like that.
