Hello Mr. Sun! You have been missed! Today's Newsday crossword puzzle is aptly titled "Lighten Up." The them answers are:
17A: Epitomes: SHINING EXAMPLES
35A: Expressions of Delight: BEAMING SMILES
52A: Major Blunders: GLARING ERRORS
In Hollywood news, Jeff Conaway (from "Taxi" and "Grease") slipped into a coma from an apparent overdose. He had been addicted to drugs for years and tried to redeem himself several times. Very sad news.
As parents, my husband and I we try our best to set a "shining example" for our son. I guess that's not true if you're a Hollywood celebrity. It turns out that the "love child" of Arnold Schwarzenegger was born 5 days AFTER his youngest son (with Maria Shriver) was born. I'm sure he paid off both his former maid (the alleged mother) and the child to keep things secret.
As an editor, I often cringe when I see "glaring errors" in all types of media from newspapers to Web sites. I was going to put some of these online, but it proved to be too much effort. There are a couple of excellent sites devoted to typos and grammatical errors. "The Proofreaders' Hall of Shame" hasn't been updated in a few years, but I found some hilarious goofs. Here's the URL: http://www.zone38.net/phs/

Today's cryptoquote is by Charles Dickens (1812-1870). It reads "Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last." I found a cute onesie with this saying in Cafe Press:
Kickboxing and more Zumba tonight! I just can't get enough of Zumba! Tonight will be the first class I take with the new kickboxing instructor. I heard she used to be a drill sergeant.
Till tomorrow. . . .
Signing off,
