While Lynn and I did not do this on our first date, when we were planning to have Linus I did play around with Punnett Squares because I was hoping whoever we had would have green eyes, though any healthy baby is a blessing. The squares showed good odds, and it turns out Linus' eyes are (a complicated) green, or as I like to say, "the color of a stormy sea".

It's obvious that our children, who have and are growing up with computers and ubiquitous computing devices will be better at using these tools than we are. It will come naturally to them. I just hope they are nice about it.
