Hello, and welcome to the Saturday Morning News Post. Yes, this news post is late again but I have a good reason this time,… I was donating blood. OK? If you haven’t donated recently, I’d encourage you to do so, it’s a painless simple process that takes around 30-60 minutes (only 5-10 minutes of that is actual donating) and, if you’re like me, you might just feel a small weight lifted (about 24 ounces actually) from your conscience as you willingly do something to give back to your community. (For Canadians the # to call is 1-888-2 DONATE). As they say “It’s In You To Give!”… and the peach juice is delicious.

“Whatever has become of the Saturday morning news? Are you so ardently involved in plan-making you can’t spare a moment to keep your adoring public abreast? We are not eternally patient. The world is full of many wonders–jazzificent and otherwise.”
First of all, I’m flattered by your email. Secondly, I just looked up “jazzificent” and it isn’t even a word, but it is pretty catchy so I hereby copyright it. As for the Artistic Planning, yes, I have been working on it ardently and I’m pleased to say the 1st draft of my plan is complete! more…
