Summer began in earnest just a few days ago.  I already miss spring.  What to do when it is sooo hot outside?  Spend some time on surchur and keep up with the ‘keepin’ up on the worldwide web.’  Here are a few assignments to test your abilities.  I expect a report on at least one topic by Friday!

Sarah Jessica Parker — Are you really a mom if you just pay someone else to have your babies?  Heck, my wife says that the process of pregnancy and birth are important to the mother-child bonding (maybe that’s why the kids like her better!).  Guess celebrities are too busy for real life.  When was the last time SJP shopped at Walmart?  Yeah, I thought so.

Jon and Kate + 8 — Oh, my gosh.  The solitary interviews.  Jon is sporting new diamond studs in both ears, Kate lays about showing off the ‘tat’ on her leg.  Is anyone surprised about the divorce?  Once upon a time this show was about the kids.  Now it is about Kate and the $$$ . . . oh, and Jon and the $$$.  No wonder they don’t get along, shoot they are too busy spending the $$$ their kids have earned — on themselves.

Protests in Iran — The election fraud is just a symptom.  Show me one theocracy in all of history that worked.  Let the people decide Supreme Leader Khamenei.  Even the Q’uran says there should be no compulsion in religion (Surah 2 verse 256).

Roger Federer — The comeback kid is hot so far at Wimbledon.  Can he win his record breaking 15th Major title?  Probably, since Nadal is injured — will there be an asterisk?

Transformers 2 — What’s not to like?  Machines that can change from destroyers to likeable transportation — aw come on, why won’t my 8 year old Jeep blow up the traffic jam on the way to work?  Summer Fun 2, just turn off your brain on the way in . . .  this movie is no UP (four stars baby).

Your report should be no more than two pages, double-spaced and spell-checked.  Anything less and you just aren’t paying attention.

See Ya!  But, remember — Live, Breath, Surch!!
