Daddy took Lucinda to see “Piglet’s Big Movie” today. After the movie, we all went to a birthday party for one of the other little girls in her preschool class. Pictures from the party are at 1134.org/lucinda/photos/index.php?ayear=2003&amonth=3&aday=22&byear=2003&bmonth=3&bday=22&submit=Search

Daddy took Lucinda to the Eaton Canyon Natural Area (www.ecnca.org) park today. They poked around the streams flowing down the canyon, looked at the exhibits in the visitor center, walked a couple of nature trails, and climbed some trees. Then it started raining and they had to come home.

We took Lucinda to the opening party at the Museum of Neon Art this evening. We met Alethia and her mom there so that the two girls could play. They looked at all the neon artworks, had some cookies, and then went outside to run around.

We went to the Museum of Neon Art opening party tonight. This was to show off the new exhibit, “Gas and Glass”. The new exhibit runs until September. They had food, drinks, music, and lots of very nice neon art. It was a fun time.

Lucinda and Mommy went to the L.A. Zoo today. They spent the afternoon there.

Lucinda had a sleep-over at Aunt Maggi’s house this weekend. On the way down on Saturday, we went to Irvine Regional Park in Orange. We went through the little zoo there and Lucinda spent some time climbing on a fallen tree. On Sunday, Grandma and Grandpa came over the Aunt Maggi’s house. They all went to the park and fed the ducks.

Went to hear Taner Edis give his talk, “The Ghost in the Universe” at the Skeptics Society today. He laid out the case for why the universe and science do not give us any evidence for the existence of God. For more information about this, see Taner’s web page at www.truman.edu/~edis/books/ghost

Afterward, we went to Aunt Maggi’s house to pick up Lucinda after her sleep-over.
