Yesterday my roommate read the official statement to me. And then we both passed out.

The spouse and I were talking about how in his Inaugural Address he'd mentioned supporting science, and the spouse said he was thinking to himself, "Thank you, Jesus! Oh wait, no, that's not right."

Hooray!

On the bumper of my car, I have a Jesus fish and a Darwin fish. And they are smooching. With a little heart I painted over where their lips meet and everything.

:-)

Also check out the religion and science lovefest. (http://www.butler.edu/clergyproject/Evolution_Weekend/2008_evol_weekend.htm)

I was fantasizing today about sending a thank-you card. Just a post-card kinda thing, or something all hand drawn and decorated and all.

There's been a lot of "woo-hoo"s and 'thank you, president Obama!' in my house today. From the adults and the two-year-old both.

I suppose it would have been too aggressive to do it on the March for Life day (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2009/01/22/ST2009012201530.html).
