Colts RB Joseph Addai says he's focused on Saints now, LSU later

"Indianapolis Colts running back Joseph Addai said Tuesday he regrets not being able to concentrate more on LSU's 2010 recruiting class.

National signing day is tomorrow and Addai, a four-year letterman at LSU whom the Colts drafted in the first round in 2006, said he follows the Tigers recruits and games very closely. But, what with one thing and another, this week he has found his concentration drawn elsewhere."

Les Misérables: Law and Grace

"Victor Hugo’s great 1862 novel Les Misérables tells a story that means a great deal to me personally. It’s about a prisoner redeemed by God’s grace.

I’m really thrilled that Ken Boa tackles this monumental work in this month’s Great Books Audio CD. As Ken tells us, Les Misérables is one of the greatest tales ever told about injustice, redemption—and about the tension between law and grace."

Some animal lovers are opposed to Groundhog Day

"The folks at the DuPage County Forest Preserve District don't come right out and say they oppose Groundhog Day. Still, they have a definitive position, and it leans toward killjoy.

They don't celebrate that whimsical, pseudo-holiday of Feb. 2. The district contends that the pudgy rodents, also known as woodchucks — or whistle-pigs in the South — need uninterrupted hibernation from early November through February and into March."
