This week many millions of people in countries all over the world are celebrating your birthday. This year is an especially big one for you – 200 years makes you older than many of the nations that have organized “Darwin Days” in your honor.

Following dinner one winter’s night an elderly husband & wife settled down into their favorite positions to enjoy a quite evening at home. Nestled in his chair the husband began searching channels.
