Today is the day that the Blue Jays’ pitchers and catchers report for their first day of training. The 2011 season is coming up fast. And I just can’t wait.

What Lincoln Meant to the Slaves – There has been near-endless research and speculation about this. An op-ed in the New York Times is worth the read.

Adultery Incorporated – Albert Mohler looks at the adultery industry and offers some useful analysis of it. Yes, there actually is such an industry.
