Merry Christmas
I have about a million things to discuss and questions to answer and I promise I will get to them. Soon. (I know, I always say that... Consider this your free lesson in patience : ) But for now I just wanted to link to this cute video of some kids in New Zealand acting out the story of the Nativity. It's just really cute and I don't think you will be disappointed if you check it out. So click here to see it and have a Merry Christmas!

Videos of Evan
So these videos are mostly for my family because my email has a ridiculously low MB allowance on video attachments. Go figure. But anybody who likes cute babies is also welcome to watch the most adorable nephew in all the land : ) Evan, I apologize in advance for spoiling you. I just know I am not going to be able to help myself.
Disclaimers:
*I had to put each video in a separate post because blogger doesn't like me lately, maybe because I have neglected it. So you will have to scroll down to see the other videos. Sorry.
*I know that other people are used to the sound of my voice but I don't think I will ever get over how strange and annoying it sounds to me on tape and thus feel the need to apologize to anyone who has to listen to me : )
*I also forgot that turning the camera sideways when in video mode does not actually work. It just puts the video sideways. I'm sorry. He's still cute sideways though.
*You probably thought I would put a disclaimer in here saying that Evan may not in fact be the cutest nephew in all the land. But you would be wrong. He is. At least until he gets a brother or cousin. No disclaimers: )

Called To Serve...
This guy (My youngest brother Kyle)
Has been called to serve in the Korea Busan (Pusan) Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Pusan is in the bottom right corner of this map. (Apparently there is some confusion as to whether it is Busan or Pusan because the mission call says Busan, but all the maps say Pusan. I am betting P's get pronounced as B's in Korean)
And here is a map of where the Koreas are in relation to the rest of the world. (Between China and Japan basically)
He leaves for the MTC on December 29, 2010. We are very excited and proud of him. Anyong Korea, here comes Elder Schultz!

I'm Alive! (Along With A Lot Of Men)
So, I have been meaning to blog for a while now and I even got so far as to do a small amount of research on the causes of humidity, as per Elise's question, but alas, nothing came of it. I am still working on that one and hope to be able to answer it soon but for now I seem to have put up a mental block that is preventing me from grasping the concept.
In the meantime I have been keeping busy with work, microbiology, and genetics (there's another mental block...)( O. Chem is having to wait till next semester on account of there are more crazy people than I thought because the class was full and I couldn't get in.) Other than that things are pretty much the same in my life. Which, all things considered, is ok.
In the meantime, I got another question which has a pretty quick and easy answer, which is about all that I have time or the mental capacity for at the moment so I thought I would tackle it. The question is, are there more males or females born in the world or is it just 50/50?
If I had to guess I would think there were more females by far, based mainly on the fact that there seem to be no single guys around..... but actually, it turns out that there are more boys born than girls. (You'd think my odds would be better...)
Apparently there are about 105 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls. And even though women have a longer life expectancy than men (about 80 years to about 75 years) there are still more men on the planet at any given time than there are women. Which leaves only one question: Where are the good single ones? If you find them you are certainly welcome to direct them my way : )
