Tsk – tsk! It’s T Day for the A to Z Challenge. Don't be ticked off by tacky trespassers, who tap-dance around the truth, when you can tally terrific titles today.
The final countdown is underway. Try to keep posting! You can make it to the end of the blogging challenge!
Now – now. It’s N Day today, no time to nap. Nod knowingly at name-droppers and narcissists, narrating their naughty nonsense. Say no to nosedives and naysayers on N Day!
We’re nearing the homestretch now with the A to Z Challenge. Nice work, all!
N is also for names and niches. Have you ever wondered how to create your own blog? Check out this helpful online article by my friend and colleague, Marie Anne St. Jean : "Start Your Own Blog with Blogger Blogspot." Not to be neglected, newsletters also start with N. Here's "Newsletters: Going Online," filled with practical pointers for publications from long-time journalist and public relations veteran Linda Ann Nickerson.
Happy A to Z!

Do you like to bake on Saturdays? Some folks set aside time on weekends to whip up big batches of home-baked cakes, cookies or cupcakes for the rest of the week. Perhaps you are baking goodies for Easter or a spring bake sale at school.
Have you ever made home-baked bread (or biscuits, pizza dough or rolls) from scratch? Or do you prefer to use baking mixes? Do you bake cookies on baking sheets, or do you like to use baking stones?

What? Another massive earthquake?
Overnight, a huge earthquake occurred near Santiago, Chile. This quake, Occurring February 26th, followed the disastrous Haitian earthquake of 2010 (and other recent earthquakes) all too closely.
The Chilean earthquake measured 8.8 on the Richter Scale. Death counts have been estimated at nearly 80 (at least). Significant destruction has been reported – from Santiago to Concepcion – with numerous injuries and collapsed buildings.
This is the biggest earthquake to hit Chile in 25 years.
Aftershocks are underway, with some measuring as high as 6.9 in the Latin American country of Chile.
Tsunami warnings have been issued for such South Pacific areas as Hawaii and Japan. Authorities have alerted Pacific region residents that the potential tsunami could take about 24 hours to reach their areas.

Tomorrow is Super Bowl XLIV.
The Indianapolis Colts will take on the New Orleans Saints in Miami’s Dolphin Stadium for the NFL's biggest football game extravaganza of the year. The Who will provide the half-time entertainment. Advertisers will pull out all the stops (spending more than $2.5 million for a single 30-second ad spot).
And football fans everywhere will sip and snack, chug and crunch, giggle and growl, throughout the big game.
The Meme Express prompt for today is twofold for Super Bowl weekend:
