OMG, history boner. The Illinois Bureau of Tourism is staging a reenactment tour of the Lincoln-Douglas debates to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the events. Chicago-area festivities are still TBD, sadly, but the tour recreates the duo's stops in Ottowa, Freeport, Jonesboro, Charleston, Galesburg, and Quincy.
Do you look like Honest Abe? (Slap a beard and a top-hat on just about any relatively tall person and the answer is yes.) Perhaps you would like to join The Association of Lincoln Presenters so you too can bring history to life! [AP]

Margaret, for using the term "history boner," you are my new hero.
Nerdily enough, I would be very entertained by this.
It's Ottawa, not Ottowa.
