Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays when, if you are in a relationship, you know something is required of you. The challenge tends to be determining just what exactly is required.

Last week’s Sun-Times ran a blistering front page article from the American Lung Association in which they called the tobacco industry “racketeers”. That may well be, but when compared to some other industries, the tobacco people look almost saintly.

Last week we were treated to a diatribe on the failings of The Supreme Court, partisan Republicans, big bad banks, unfaithful Democrats and a host of others that caused 2009 to be a year to forget.

Spiders tend to be more active at night. We’re not dumb. We know that a size 13 boot is likely to ruin our entire day if we scurry about during daylight hours, especially if your hosts are particularly squeamish.

I was recently catching up on some of my TV viewing. I am a couch potato, I admit it. Criminal Minds is one of my favorite shows, I had missed a couple of episodes so I started watching the episode called Retaliation.

For many of us over the past week, the tragedy in Haiti, health care and politics have been reduced to background noise because of the unexpected loss of Tommy Smith, one of Cleburne County’s native sons and prominent lawyers.

Around the holidays an important story broke in USA Today. This publication is not known for its conservative slant and usually leans heavily to the left. This story pertains to the salaries of government employees.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote that you can reinvent yourself in 2010. I also said you didn’t need to be part of a reality show to do it.

Energy bars have come to the rescue of the health conscious candy bar consumer. They look and taste like candy bars, contain protein and fiber, and are loaded with vitamins and minerals. They are convenient, taste good, and thanks to an incredible amount of advertising hype, they are consumed without the guilt of the candy bar.

I am a very light sleeper, but if I have a warm, quiet place to sleep, I could do so at the drop of a hat. So I guess, for me, those are my requirements for a good night’s sleep: warmth, quiet and a hat.
