Not that I would want to. (And now I'm going to hurl again.) I did see the Soap Lady, it was an “eh” she’s behind the glass so you can’t really tell her consistency. Not that I would want to.

The composer was John Leavitt, and it was part of "American Song," a cycle of four songs, including "the/sky/was" by e. e. cummings, "Prairie Waters by Night" by Carl Sandburg, and "Southern Ships and Settlers" by Stephen Vincent Benet.

Petitedov, I’ve never been to the Mutter Museum, but I figure my kids will make me go if we’re ever in Philly. Did you see the Soap Lady?

Here what I learned*: Abraham Lincoln was embalmed a whole lot, since his body was on "tour" for mourners all over the country. After sometime they exhumed his body and Lincoln was exactly the same as when they buried him, except he had turned purple! They had draped and American flag over his body and all the chemicals from the flag seeped into the skin. He was the personification of American ideals. How awesome is that?! * Learned that from the Peter who was actually paying attention and reading, while I was busy dry heaving.
