Five things:
1. NYT: Give Up Your Pew for Lent
2. Lots of people have a bad cough-flu kind of thing now....including me.
3. I have been voting in the US for more than 50 years, and I can never
remember the continuing appeals for money following on the heels of a completed
election (e.g., the presidential election in 2012)--or two years in advance of the next one. Somebody's getting rich off this, and I suspect it's the media.
4. Only 19 days till Spring! And my friend Linda's cherry tree, which ordinarily blossoms 3 weeks in advance of the cherry trees on the mall, is already showing pink buds! Does this mean that the Cherry Blossom Festival, beginning March 20, is more or less gonna be in sync with the blossoms this year?
5. Nationofchange.org has a splendid commentary on the sequester: Basically, today, unless Congress comes to its collective senses (??), the sequester begins. Just remember who did this. Congress. And Congress can stop it--even today.
