Well today is Thursday. We New Yorkers are mourning the loss of Cory Lidle. His private airplane ran into a high rise building in New York City, on Wednesday. He was a pitcher for the New York Yankees, and he had been here in our town of Binghamton as a minor league player with the Binghamton Mets until he signed with the Yankees. So it is doubly sad for our town. My heart-felt sympathy and prayers go out to his family.

On a brighter note...This week's Christian Fiction Blog Alliance book tour for Violette Between,by Alison Strobel is doing great. It is #2 on Technorati Popular Books! Hopefully at #1 by the time you read this!
