(And I can totally understand his frustration about the lack of funding and interest in science.)

I hope Dr. Tyson will be back sometime soon because I’d love for my daughter to see his presentation. She was so bummed. Ack.

Hey, I’m glad you guys got a chance to attend! YOU are a GREAT role model for giving him a second go ’round.

On another note, I don’t know if you’ve gotten a chance to see the Olafur Eliasson exhibit “Take Your Time” at the DMA yet, but it’s incredibly child-friendly and explores light and color in a very captivating, experimental, scientific manner. We have been about a million times, and Bella, my girl, just loves it — especially the “Black and White Room,” in which the introduction of pure yellow light causes everything to appear very sit com-y! It was scheduled through mid-March, although I believe it has been extended an additional week. Bring a small hand towel, though, because, behold: there is a mist room in the southern most part the installation! (You know how children just HATE running through water and mist and getting soaked for fun, right? ;)

Nice to hear from you again.

Did you catch Dr. Tyson at Geotech? Just wondered what your impressions of him were there. It was a very different vibe from the UTA venue, wasn’t it? My son and I both asked questions. I enjoyed.

Talk to you soon,
Julie

Telling someone to go “Glenn Beck themselves” is an insult in our house. It’s the worst thing you can possibly say to someone and reserved for the worst offenses, like stealing some of my Sonic ice.

For the rest of the day, we should blame everything sketchy and/or controversial on Glenn Beck. For instance, I woke up late. Stupid Glenn Beck! My coffee is cold. Oh, GOSH! That Glenn Beck and his stupid, cold coffee. Here’s a relevant one: I am so pissed off about this Pluto bizwax. Damn you, Glenn Beck! I’ll bet he works for free out of the kindness of his dear heart. Hmph.

And it wasn’t the Teamsters, but the UAW. Still, he’s a tool. That was really my point. Glenn Beck=Tool.

There goes Glenn Beck getting Teamsters confused with prostitutes! Man, if there’s a company negotiator alive who agreed to a contract with those terms, it’s not saying a whole lot about his concern for collecting future paychecks. Also: Um, did Glenn say anything about where I can pick up a job app for that position (not the hooker job, but the other one, heh)?

I understand what it feels like to fight an uphill battle against companies with CEOs who make millions of dollars in bonuses while workers are being laid off and losing their jobs to the most arrogant outsourcing on the planet.”

What, don’t you people make something like $300 an hour with all of your benefits?? That’s what Glenn Beck said, so it must be true! <—sarcasm for the socially inept, but NOT the homeschooled.

Yeah, I should go to bed.

We didn’t get to go into the museum. The lecture was across the street. But I am definitely going back someday. Have you been to the museum over by Love Field? My favorite nursery is across the street.
