We have happy birthdays to hand out for two of the good folks at the National Center for Science Education. Yesterday was the birthday of the NCSE's associate director Glenn Branch. And today is the birthday of information project director Wesley Elsberry. They are both really nice guys and Wesley in particular has, over the last few years, become a really good friend. After the very serious health problems he went through the last 2 years that nearly took him from us, today really is a day to celebrate. Happy Birthday, gentlemen. Next time I'm out your way, which I hope will be soon, the first round is on me.

Today is PZ Myers' 51st birthday.
This Sunday I was at an event that involved a number of drawings for door prizes. There were perhaps 30 couples there - it was, not to beat around the bush, a wedding registry shindig at Bed, Bath, & Beyond. (Did I mention I'm recently engaged? I am.
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Erin
Happy Birthday to you!
...and many more!...
It is rather fun to have a birthday on February 29th. Today is my 8th birthday, which is pretty weird, considering my young son will have his 8th birthday later in the year. For him, it’ll be the same old birthday.
I noticed in my new Working Assets prospectus that the NCSE has been selected as one of the recipients of the targeted support funds for 2006. This is a nice birthday present for the organization as honors the work of these two gentlemen (and you as well Ed).
spyder-
Hey, that's great news. The NCSE can use all the funding they can get. Their budget is absolutely dwarfed by the Discovery Institute.
Happy birthday!
Thanks, everybody! And you shoulda seen the cake... chocolate layer cake, vanilla icing, and milk chocolate shavings. Scrumptious. We had a nice break with the NCSE staff around the meeting table. Nina even came up with a birthday candle for each of us.
