The weather forecast for Saturday calls for mid-80s. Some feel this is the perfect day to watch a shootout at high noon to celebrate Gillette's 125th year, and some, like me, are going to take to morning to sleep in until 8 and then organize life. And others, well, others feel it is the perfect day to burn a copy of the Quran.

Now, I'm not saying this is right, and in fact, I'm completely against it, and on a personal level, I think that it simply should not be allowed. But it's happening; and the newspaper will be covering it; just like we do with everything else.

I remember sitting in my college composition class, and my professor asked the class to write a story using six words. No more. No less. 

I can remember sitting and pondering. I would write down two words and then scratch them out again. I wrote down three words, shook my head, and the words met the wrath of my pen again.

Who knows how I would have made it through college without you. 

And now, it's no different.

I'm pretty sure that my travel cup is always somewhere within reach and is always filled with the sweet nectar of fuel that I use to give my brain and my body a kick.
