Anyway, so i walk into this bookstore, which happened to be two blocks away from Ford's Theatre, and pick up this book on a whim. Walk up the block to a starbucks to start reading.

... at which point i'm a block from ford's theater, and it's the anniversary of the lincoln assassination, and of course he'd be there. Also, he's on a cellphone, so he's probably not a ghost.
