update

What's goin' down, dawgs? Surprised about the results of the vote on Jackson County 'Safety Tax'? Me too. Also surprised by the overwhelming majority that supported Murphysboro expansion. Pleased to see Judge Bruce Stewart win the appelate judge job, since I've known him since he and current Saline State's Attorney C. David Nelson were law partners in Harrisburg in the 80s.

Maybe the two of them will attend the Between the Rivers CD party on April 15, featuring the Ivas John Band at Jimbo's House of Brews, in Harrisburg. How about you, Bloggy? I just got off the phone with the Blue Star Lines about leasing a limo for the night, or maybe Busdog's party bus will be available.

If you go, don't dance so much that you can't participate in the 4th Annual Carbondale Bike 2 Work Day on May 12 -- events are shaping up around the U.S. and in The 'Dale. Details as they develop are available at the recently updated Bike 2 Work Day blog

What next?

• Prepare the chapter "'V' is for Varsity" from my blook for online publication with the help of my new eduhtor.
• Add more artists and images to Art Lovers Trading Company web site.
  
• Locate "The Ubiquitous One" about contributing to the On The Square Online newsletter.
• Watch basketball, especially my new favorite team, the Washington University Huskies, with 2004 CCHS standout Justin Dentmon at point guard. Reminiscent of Walt Frazier, with long arms and agressive defense - also a winner.

See you after the next City Council meeting (Tues. April 4) allowing time to listen to the audio -- say Friday, April 7.
