Some folks have asked what Dr Chordate looks like. Visit Dr. Chordate in Action for a few recent photos.

Some folks have asked about Dr Chordate's trips to Cuba in October of 2008 and August of 2009. To read a journal of the 2008 trip, click Dr. Chordate in Cuba and find out what Dr, Mrs, and Courtney Chordate did on that two-week mission trip. For some photos taken during that trip to Cuba, visit Pictures of Cuba. Photos of the 2009 trip can be found at Dr Chordate's Flickr Photos of Cuba. (These Flickr photos are in reverse chronological order, so if you want to see things as they happened, go to the last page first and work back to the first page.)


And for something completely different, i.e., nothing to do with science, click here to hear Dr Chordate's "Truck Stop Woman".


And for something else completely different, i.e., nothing to do with science or truck stop women: for many years, I have been directing the Christmas program at my church (Millersburg Christian Church, Fulton MO). We usually buy something off the shelf from a publisher, and then I have to rewrite it to suit our church. So, for Christmas 2007, I wrote my own show, complete with a special new song (music by Brent Moran) during which a Nativity scene is created. To see the script and lyrics to the special song, click here. I'm sure you will enjoy it. And if you would like to produce it at your church next Christmas, contact me (Dr Chordate) to get a copy of the music and/or CD of the music (for a nominal charge, of course).


And for another completely different kind of humor, please visit the web site of my neighbor, Lewis Baumgartner, The World's Worst Farmer. (He really is, too! If you'd seen his wheat crop, you'd sure be thankful that man doesn't live by bread alone!).


And a new Dr Chordate feature: in an effort to debulk my house, I am selling a section of rare, collectible, first edition books, mostly of early 20th century vintage. Click here to see the current offerings, but many more books will be added as we open more boxes.
