Today in History

In 1822, Gregor Mendel was born on this date.  Mendel is known as the father of genetics, and it all started with some pea plants.

1822 meets 2011

42 years ago today the world watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.

My parents were watching me dig into my first birthday cake, with the TV on in the background.

Happy birthday Ashley Reber, Logan Gifford, and Bee Jorgensen!  I think of you every year.
