Tonight, Kevin and I will be attending This American Life Live!.  I’m not exactly sure what to expect, but I’m totally stoked nonetheless. This American Life has always been one of my favorite NPR programs, so this should be pretty sweet.

If you too are an NPR geek or have any interest in seeing This American Life Live!, you should definitely consider checking it out at a location near you!

Dr Zavos, a controversial fertility doctor claims to have cloned 14 human embryos and planted 11 of them into the wombs of 4 women. None of the transfers led to a viable pregnancy, but the doctor fully believes that with intensified efforts the world could see it’s first healthy cloned baby within the next year or two.

What?

Ummm… anyone see anything wrong with this? While I’m thrilled that it CAN be done (it’s awesome that the technology is out there), I’m not so sure it should be done… Weird.

Hey, on a brighter note we could one day have our own clone army! The future is here.

Last season, because it was their last season in the old stadium, Kevin and I made it a point to go to three games. I’m not sure if we’ll get there for the first season in the new stadium, so it was neat to come across this in the New York Times. It still has the same feel of the old place, but it’s bright and shiny and modern. Sweet. It opens tonight for an exhibition game against the Cubs. Wish I could be there. Go Yankees!
