I’ve been looking forward to this week for a long time.
Today I am going to add an additional activity to what we did last year. I’m still working it out in my brain but I think I am going to explore color with the kids as a metaphor for how all of life is [...]

If you’re not already a subscriber and haven’t yet read my article in the Humanist Network News, make sure you head over and take [...]
I am free! As I type this post, the only things I can hear are the air conditioner and a plane flying overhead. Even the dog is silent and taking a nap at my feet. For the first time in almost nine years I have some alone time on a regular basis. [...]
We’re back home and I managed to return sans sunburn and weight-gain. Not having gained weight was the loftier achievement since the resort was all-inclusive. Yes, that’s what I said.

I cannot wait to read this new book, which Panda’s Thumb brought to my attention:
INTELLIGENT THOUGHT: SCIENCE VERSUS THE INTELLIGENT DESIGN MOVEMENT is a compilation of articles by some of our favorite scientists.
