Nature versus nurture. Which one determines one’s lot in life? It’s a never-ending debate.
But maybe it’s neither. Maybe it’s somewhere in-between. My hope: Design*.
My son Will. By design, he’ll be useful and engaging. How’s that? He’s underpinned with a strong and sturdy constitution: a sitemap† (color-coded, in radial format††).
Nicole, thanks for the onesie!

Interesting question dog…here are my random thoughts….nature is what will determine who he is…..what his strenghts and weakness’s are….what he is predesposed to..personality…artistic and athletic inclinations…..shy or gregarious…..there is nothing you can do to change his genes (besides you have great genes…thanks levi’s….bonus points for those who get that one)….while nuture will determin how he acts..behaves….which of his predispositions recieve the necassary attention to flourish (i’ll bet he will shuush boom….yes….perhaps harness the power of the internet..yes…thank you Al Gore..also Al…thanks for inventing books and the triple balde razor…where or where would we be without you)
I love your faith in his design…it is solid as a rock…i will be counting on him to lead the remaining humans after the apocolyps ..lets just hope for Carlo’s sake that he gets Kerri’s upperbody so he doesn’t look like a waif boy for the rest of his life.
