After the park, we went out for dinner. Harper entertained the other diners while we waited for our pizza.
98% of the human genome is noncoding DNA. Termed junk DNA, this vast majority of all human DNA has no known biological function. Why would we have so much nonfunctional genetic material? Are these the instructions for superpowers that are waiting to be tapped or are they really just junk left over from millions of years of modification? I don't know about you, but I'm hoping for superpowers.

Spring Has Sprung
Harper and I had a great day on Saturday. The weather was so nice that we decided to round up some friends and go to the park.
And The Winner Is...
Using the random number generator from Random.org, the winner was #11 Laurie Cooper:
"UE and I have discussed this. (And I'm talking about when it gets up over $100 million.) We'd pay off the homes of all our families and close friends. We'd give enough to the church to be able to fund a FULLY staffed children and family minitry (but not so much that volunteers wouldn't be necessary). Then we'd build an academy for underpriveliged children that would employ all family and friends who wanted to work there to teach, coach, mentor, and spiritually guide a new generation of upright and Christian citizens. Yeah, sounds like a Miss America speach but 100% true! I can think of nothing I'd rather do!"
