My four year-old son loves watching Bill Nye’s shows which I support fully. Nothing says brilliant like a big, auburn bow tie. So, today, we decided to write a letter to Mr. Nye so Lincoln could ask him a few questions. The original intent was to ask Bill if he could come to Lincoln’s upcoming [...]

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard Lincoln say something so childishly [...]
