So, this weekend, I miraculously caught up on my homework. Through spring break. Meaning I don’t have anything due again until, at the earliest, two weeks from today. And I have no idea what to do with that.

A follow up to last week’s “please let this be wrong” post … another US News & World Report blurb: Oprah is calling The 2008 presidential bandwagon of Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is gaining speed. We hear that Oprah Winfrey is eager to get the Republican on her show when his weight-loss guide is published …
