How to inflame a young man's passions

Hey! Remember that seven year old blogger who writes about paleozoic creatures? He's going to be eight, and he knows what he wants for his birthday: A trip to the Field Museum at the University of Chicago. Friends and family are trying to raise money so he can go.

Wait a minute…I haven't been to the Field Museum, either, despite having been to Chicago several times in the last few years. What's wrong with me? I should be telling you to pay for my trip!

No, I'll be altruistic: contribute to the young man's dreams and inspire him to be a scientist when he grows up. I'll just try to get their on my own — I'm a big boy now, I have an income and everything.
