A man who is an agnostic by inheritance, so that he doesn't remember any time that he wasn't, has almost no hatred for the religious.

Cuttlefish's lament
Watasenia scintellans--
If, in the dark, you sight one,
Remember, Grandma always said
That 'Senia was the bright one.

I may have mentioned it before. My name is bio-luminescence.
The old viking word is Mareld - direct translation = Seafire.
A goal of mine is to visit Bio-bay in Puerto Rico after I graduate from Nursing School.
