Helloooooo everybody!

So, the Tiger finally held a press conference and told the whole world about the error of his ways, and how he is profoundly sorry for his actions.  Was he sincere?  Well, only he knows that for sure.  It sure made for very good television theater, though.  I mean, everybody was tuned in Friday morning before going to school and to work.  The TV tabloid shows had their hands full later on that day as well.  And as for the print tabloids?  Well, they really hadn't laid off of this story since it broke late last year.  But enough about this.  Tiger said he was sorry, all is forgiven, and now, it's time to move on to something else.

Now, we Catholics are fully into the Lenten season, and you know what that means.  Yes!  We now have approximately six more weeks to the start of Easter, and Spring Break Week!  (Applause here!)  Soon it will be time to kick back with a hot video game and a cold soft drink (not necessarily in that order!) and leave the school books and homework behind, if only for one week!  I just hope neither of my parents come up to me and my brother this year and announce to us "I think the house needs painting this week!"  or "The garden sure could use a few more plants!"  I know there's a lot that need to be done around the house, and I know that during Spring Break, there's a lot of time to do them, but come on!  There's a lot that we kids have to catch up with as well, such as playing the latest video games and watching all those movies and programs that we Tivoed on school nights!  (I know what a lot of you are saying:  what about reading?  Well, we kids do read a lot!  More than many of you grownups would expect us to!)  I know that a lot of sensible grownups use their vacation time to get a lot done, but just remember, folks, this is our vacation, too.

So, what do I plan on doing in just a few weeks?  Well, like I said before, I plan on kicking back with the Beatles (through their Rock Star video game) and some Capri Sun, if there's nothing more to do around the house at that time.  I've been checking around the house, and the paint job seems to be just fine, and we have enough plants and flowers in both the front and the back yards, and there are no weeds out in the yards, except for the occasional dandelion patch that dots our front and back lawns, and we pluck those, dry them and make dandelion tea out of them.  It's the best tonic in the world!  Well, anyway, I also plan on watching a few shows and movies that I saved on the Tivo on school nights, such as the episodes of Lost and some stuff on Cartoon Network, and a couple of movies on  Turner Classic Movies.  I might even find time to finish a new book I've just started.  You've probably heard of it.  It's called The Catcher in the Rye.  It was written by a guy named J.D. Salinger.  I heard he recently died.  That's why I'm reading his book.  Pretty good reading, so far. 

Well, that's all the time we have for this week.  Until next time, be well, stay well, and don't forget to donate to the people of Haiti!

Sincerely,




Marley Sue
