Today's News

While eating my chalk flavored carb smart Dannon yogurt, I perused this morning's Miami Herald. First I found the Tropical Life section and read chapter 3 of the "Read2Me" section.

When I first noticed this new (well, I'm told it's actually a new again section) I was pleased that the Herald had at least one page I'd let my children or elementary aged students read. Now I'm hooked. This time the exertps are from a juvenile book titled SCREAMING MUMMIES OF THE PHAROAH'S TOMB II by James Howe.

Next I searched through the Metro & State section just in case there was something of interest. I looked at the pictures, read the headlines and then action line. It's nice to know there are swmming lessons for toddlers this summer.

Last I scanned the Miami Herald main section where Michael Jackson't picture held center stage. Sad to say, I read that article. This freak/man needs help! I don't know if he molested the boy, or any other for that matter. All I know is what I see which is run by the media.

When I was a girl, I enjoyed watching and listening to the Jackson Five. I liked hearing them sing and thought that little Michael Jackson was cute and talented. Then I grew up. I'm not into judging people for their taste in music or dance. I don't listen to or watch his style of entertainment. I do have concern for the three children he claims to have fathered--you know the little white boys (the ones he drags around under paper sacks and holds over railings).

Seeing nothing else that I wanted to spend my time reading, I put the sports, business, and advertisement sections on the chair where we collect papers for recycling. Tomorrow morning I'll do the same while eating breakfast. I only have about 15 minutes for this activity, so I'm glad when there's not a whole lot I want to read.
