Darwin/Lincoln Celebrations
Yesterday was the bicentennial of the birth of Darwin and Lincoln. We went to Hodgenville to see the state of Kentucky’s celebration of Lincoln’s birthday. I saw the governor speak right before they released the new Lincoln bicentennial penny, straight from the mint. The pennies have Lincoln’s cabin on the back—where he was born. I dressed up as Lincoln and saw three other Lincolns. But we didn’t see any other kids dressed up. Later, when we got home we had a cake to celebrate both their birthdays, and we watched a documentary about Darwin. As part of our homeschool, we’ve been doing “Where’s Darwin?” (reading from his Beagle Diary and finding the locations he visited on Google Earth). He never mentioned his birthday on the 12th . . . He only talked about being seasick!

Darwin Day 2009
February 12th is fast approaching and I am sure most all of you are very aware that the 12th is Darwin Day! But it isn’t just any Darwin Day . . . This is the 200th anniversary of his birth. Also, this year marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species. All this to say, Dudeboy has a special message to share with you.

Pinewood Derby
Dudeboy raced Moby Dick yesterday at his pack's pinewood derby car competition. He did fairly well . . . he won one heat and finished 2nd in his other races. However, his overall average times kept him from advancing to the finals. Dudeboy said he had "a whale of a time!"

Columbus
For a short video Dudeboy helped put together about Columbus, go here. We weren't able to make a longer video, because that would cost moolah. Animoto.com is a pretty cool site, where one can make very professional videos of your own pictures. This was just a trial run.
