We have a baby coming sometime in May, a girl. We're thinking of Darwin as a middle name.

To much of using the innocent for your own agenda.
But if anyone wants a purely nice yet biological name, it's Liana.

Well, I whisked the family off to the local United Church of Christ for Sunday services! (they were signatories of the Evolution Sunday Clergy Letter Project) However, it appears that today is Racial Equality Sunday in Illinois. However, race wasn't really discussed either. Oh well, the snowy countryside was beautiful to see on our way out there! What a weird Darwin day....I feel like I've been had. Lured into a church! I'm going to correct this injustice with a walk down the creek.

Here's an e-mail I received from Defcom (Campaign to Defend the Constitution): Send your loved ones a Darwin Valentine! And "let your love evolve."

He's in good company of aged hero-scientists.
