Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin!

Today is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, an event which is being celebrated in various ways all over the world. In Las Cruces the Black Box Theater presented a play called "Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin!" It was a light-hearted, irreverent look at the implications of the theory of evolution and a celebration of life in all its diversity and beauty. Bob Divin, who wrote the play and music and starred as "the not-so-reverend Bob" is quite clever and entertaining. We enjoyed the play and the birthday cake and champagne in the lobby afterward.

We did our laundry in the park laundromat in the morning. For lunch we had chicken soup, and for supper chicken tenders in peri peri sauce, baked potato, green beans, salad, and pumpkin custard.
