A friend of mine who is an urban planner wrote a fascinating analysis of the Creation Museum's business model [link] and based on that, it seems to me like they're well aware of the problems he lays out.

I'm disappointed in Bill Nye for agreeing to the debate - does he really think he's doing anything other than selling tickets to the Creation Museum to skeptics?

And fangirls.

But no, right now I'm in the camp of The Creation Museum Will Not Get My Money, Even For Bill Nye.

bon bon! Wow! That is going all out for tax deductions.

amych, also congratulations!

I actually went to the gym after work, woo-hoo! And even worked out - I got myself to go by reasoning that going and sitting in the sauna still counted, but I did the circuit training thing. Tired now. This is supposed to lead to overall less tiredness, right?

Congrats, amych!

I finally got called for jury duty -- at my old address! But I'm in the same county, so I'll have to do it. It will take me an hour and two buses to get there, but inconvenience is not a reason to request a change in location. Good fucking times.

Congrats Amych and congrats bon!

Woot! Congrats Amych!

We are watching a friend's kid, since 8:30 AM, because she had to take her other kid on a college tour. Her ex was supposed to pick her kid up at 5:00 (notice the time) but then he texted at 1:00 to say he couldn't be here until 8:00 PM and then he called to say it looked more like 9:00 PM.

The worst is that she was driving her older kid up to a college near where he was staying (Bay Area) and she offered to drop the kid we are watching off with him but he said no. He wanted to come back home so he could drive back up to his family.

I don't even get it and I have some pretty snarky things I want to say, but my kids go to bed at 7:00 PM so I'm pissed about the two hour disruption of their bedtime on top of hating for kids to feel abandoned.

Also, K suggests around 8:30 we give the kid a red bull with an espresso chaser.

Congratulations, amych and Bon Bon!

Sounds fair to me.

I'm very sneezy. Do not like. I'm hoping it is just cause the chlorine was high in the pool and it is dry, what with the snow.

I keep forgetting who is pregnant because now 3 people I know have done sneaky fb announcements (one is due end of the month) that took me a moment or six to process. So apologies if I assume/forget you're expecting....

Took cats out to play in the snow. An hour of indoor insanity followed.

Ah shit. This last sneezing fit makes me think cold, not just whatever. Maybe I didn't escape xmas travels unscathed.
