HEADLINES FOR THE MONTH

TOTO AND JENNIFER GETTING HITCH WITH FIREWORKS!
The wedding will be July 4th somewhere in Michigan...

[We know bunch of the young folks are on FaceBook, but if you feel that you don't necessarily want to share your page with us old geezers, your lose :-) ]

JULIO ANTONIO EXHIBITS ART AT BELEN CENTER!

THE FERNANDEZ SISTERS ARE ON THE MOVE!

REMBE Jr., GETS PROMOTED!

LATE BREAKING NEW: IGGY GETS HIS FIRST COLLEGIATE SAVE!
From the Swarthmore web site: "Garnet freshman Ignacio Rodriguez (Silver Spring, Md. / St. John’s College HS) closed the door on the Brewers in the seventh, striking out the final Vassar batter to earn his first collegiate save." More HERE
[NOTE: The game was originally scheduled for Sunday March 1st, but moved to Saturday because of the expect 8 inches of snow that has begun falling as of this morning (Sunday).]

FAMILY TRIVIA QUESTIONS:

Q: What is the name of the hotel that Tia Carmin and Tio Paco used to stay at when they visited Miami in the 60's? Where is it?



PARTING THOUGHT:

If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago,
you will have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1000 of shares in AIG one year ago,
you will have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago,
you will have $0.00 today.

But---- if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer,
then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received $214.00.
   
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. 

It's called the 401-Keg.

May your favorite basketball team win March Madness!
