Claire and I ran a couple of errands together this afternoon--a kid's clothes store, Costco, and the grocery store.

Today's Lunch Break:
The evangelical atheists and Mormon anti-evolutionists have joined forces
Those who know me well know that science is a subject very dear to my heart. When given the chance to speak at my graduation convocation for the College of Life Sciences a year ago, I spent my entire alloted time quoting Elder John Widtsoe and Dr. Francis Collins and gushing about the beauty of biology and evolution.
Those who know me well have probably also had me pestering them to check out The Mormon Organon, a blog written by my former BYU professor. The following excerpt is from his latest post, and is today's featured LB article.

Today's Lunch Break:
Making Ends Meet in the Great Depression
New unemployment figures were released today and it's not pretty. At 8.5% unemployment, we're at the highest rate in 25 years.
The comparison between this recession and the Great Depression of the 1930s is pervasive. But we're at 8.5%. In 1933, unemployment in the US hit 25%. That's three times higher than where we're at now.

Lara and I are still without a car (ever since the deer incident), and I was reminded this week why I've been so slow in looking for a new one.
I meet with a pathologist in Baltimore twice a month as part of my branch's ovarian cancer study, and I rented a zip car to get there. There are many reasons for not owning a car, including the freedom from liability, the extra money saved from insurance and fuel expenses, and the daily pleasure reading while riding the train or bus. This week, however, it was the horrendous DC traffic that really made me grateful for public transit.
But I digress. What I do miss about owning a car is NPR.
