Well it is the middle of the week and everything, for all intensive purposes, is well.  It is not as sunny outside as it was yesterday, but at least the day is quite long, and starting on the weekend, it will be an even longer day.  Yes, remember to set your clocks ahead this weekend!

Today is Ash Wednesday and I expect I'll see alot of people walking around with charcoal on their foreheads!

I'm thinking of doing my income tax today, I'm not looking forward to giving more money to the Government, however, we are all in the same boat and we have to do what we have to do!

I have some exciting news for you, there is a sneaker of Justin Bieber's that is currently on sale on EBay, but, you better have a healthy bank account if you hope to purchase it, the last bid was at ten thousand dollars (10,000).

Did you hear that the actor Rob Lowe is being touted as the replacement of Charlie Sheen for the show "Two and a Half Men?"  I think that the show is headed for the great big studio in the sky!

Ted Williams, the homeless man with the golden voice recently got out of rehab for alcoholism and drug addiction for the second time since he was discovered on the "Today" show.

For those of you who collect coins, The  Royal Canadian Mint is striking a new series of collector coins commemorating the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Have any of you been reading the In the News add-on lately?   Today's grab headline reads, "Proof of Alien Life!" and it got my attention as I have always wondered about the other worlds that are out there in the galaxy.  Anyway, the article goes on to say that in a published research paper, NASA scientist Richard Hoover claims to have found evidence that alien bacterial life in meteorites that were collected years ago, but many experts, includxing other NASA scientists dispute the findings.  Hoover says that he broke open the meteorites in a sterile environment,  and then examined samples using scanning electron microscopy discovering in them the fossilized remains of microorganisms he believes came from outer space.  However, NASA Astrabiology Institue director Carl Pilcher offers a simple explanation:  the microbes Hoover found are merely contamination from Earth.

Well, I am now going to have my breakfast, albeit late for most people, anyway, have yourselves a great day and be good to those less fortunate than yourself!
