This just in - more arse numbing cold!

At a whopping 26 degrees, today will be the warmest day of the week. Really?
On to other topics, because I am sure you know how I feel about the cold. Today is a court holiday, so I've been hanging out in the office all day and I think my assistants are ready for the Court's to reopen now. Or to just throw me out of the office. I am sure either would suffice.
In honor of President's Day I have a little quiz for you! Yay! A pop quiz! WOOHOO!
(1) From what did George Washington die?
(2) Where was Washington sworn in as President?
(3) Of what did Washington warn the people against in his farewell address in 1783?
(4) George Washington only traveled outside of what is now the United States once, where did he go?
(5) Abraham Lincoln was a captain in what war?
(6) How many children did Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln have?
(7) On what date was Lincoln assassignated?
(8) In what year was Lincoln admitted to the Illinois Bar (to practice law, not a drinking facility)?
(9) How tall was Lincoln?
(10) True or False: In Lincoln's first Presidential Election, on November 6, 1860, his name was not on the ballot for President in 9 southern states?
Just a little fun - I can provide answers for anyone who so desires. Happy President's Day!
Until next time -
