Hey folks!

  It's spring cleaning time again. Just remember that this is not just about the 3 inches of dust and filth that has accumulated on the tops of your ceiling fans, but it is also about the things we can't see or the things we've hidden away on purpose. Perhaps that box of old letters from a past relationship. You know, that shoebox pushed in the way back, top of your closet. The contents of which convinces you every time you look at them that maybe you made a mistake and you contemplate calling your ex or wandering onto Facebook for a little catch up prowling. Newsflash... You didn't make a mistake, they left, the relationship sucked! Burn the box and the contents. It's time to move on and you'll make a little extra room in your closet for more important things like shoes. Your friends will be happy you're going to have a bond fire. Encourage them to do the same with their old crap.

Taurus: Perhaps you should restrain your enthusiasm until you have more substantial accomplishments to report. Those that offer you constructive criticism don't mean to hurt you. They also know you won't listen to them. Keep it to yourself until you know nothing bad can be said.

Cancer: Introspection- that unreliable but irresistibly convenient tool of the psychologist- indicates that all is proceeding quite well. Actually, right now everything is perfectly fine. Your doing a good job of going with the flow. Keep it up.

Best Day: Tuesdays

Leo: You talk about doing the right thing, but whats worse?, Beating up someone who deserves it or beating up yourself. Mental toughness and fearlessness often go hand in hand. Remember that 99% of the stuff we worry about will never happen or happened differently then we remember.

While on my regular trek to the New London Public Library after moving here a year ago, I noticed the Garde's frequently changing marquis, and wanted to know how it was possible for such a wide diversity of entertainment to be presented in a small city like New London.

Musicals, ballet, rock, jazz, folk, classical, comedy, movies, even cooking shows--entertainment and cultural fare for the multi-varied, eclectic tastes and temperaments of all ages and suages. Attending a post-performance reception with filmmaker and humorist John Waters this winter, I soon discovered the answer lay in a man named Steve Sigel. I call him New London's "Impresario."

Federal auditors advised Congress to revoke a law requiring employees to swipe biometric identification cards to access secure port facilities until officials prove the value of ID card readers.

The Transportation Worker Identification Program, which is more than a decade behind schedule, requires that maritime workers undergo background checks and use ID cards to enter certain harbor areas without an escort. During a $23 million trial, the Homeland Security Department tested card readers to make sure they could verify identities and block access. But independent auditors on Wednesday reported the department's findings are unsubstantiated.
