Yesterday was truly the "best" valentine's day (best...hmm maybe most enjoyable? Most peaceful?" I have had. I think this was because I was around all of the people I loved, and not just the person I loved in a romantic sense. Though it is nice to be just around Glen (and we did, we went for a bike ride), eating brunch with Terri, Ty, Tony, Brittany, and Kristin was awesome, spending the afternoon with Ty and Terri, going to the Vagina Monologues, then afterward for Banana's foster with Tyri & Co. at my parent's house, seeing BARBARA, going back to Glen's and falling asleep on his house while Tyri and Glaura watched MST3K...the best.
I'm learning that living life in isolation, or just with your significant other, isn't always the best. It has it's moments, and there are times when it's needed, but as always in life, it is about balance. I am very glad that Ty is here this weekend, and am looking forward to next year.

Also, I have become rather addicted to NPR's All Things Considered. This past week I began physical therapy, and it was in the later afternoons, so I found myself driving at around 4 & then 5 o'clock. The stories are so interesting!
I'm posting a link to one I particularly liked, called "Darwin Finds Some Followers In The Pulpits". It grabbed my attention, mainly because one of the supporters of the theory of evolution was a baptist pastor.

Also, in lieu of Darwin's birthday, the Biology department had a party, and one of the advisor's made a miny musuem display on his desk of all the works he had of Darwin and also Lincoln's (Babe Lincoln!). There are so many cool things going on at Tech!
