My Easter roundup post has been sitting on my computer for the last 2 1/2 days and (EXCUSES) with tax season in full swing, the investment markets swirling about - I have been so so busy and not had a chance to put the finishing touches on it .
I would like to wish everyone a very belated Happy Easter! My brother and I celebrated with our parents, who live about a mile from the letter E in my keyboard. It was a quiet Easter, very relaxing and fun to watch all the NCAA B-ball games. As of this writing, I am in good shape in my pool. My Final Four teams include Tennessee, Kansas, Memphis and UCLA. Big games coming up this weekend, and I’m looking forward to watchin’em all.
One other thing I’d like to mention - (TLSN) The Life Skills Network site is fully operational and looking rather lovely. A few of the other members put a lot of hard work into the site and I’d like to thank them for that… as they say in Hollywood, you know who you are:)
You can click on the TLSN badge in the middle column (below) to go directly there and get the latest posts from any of our blogs. I’ve also created a mini TLSN blogroll (below), and I’m still working on adding a scrolling TLSN feed here too. However you get there, I highly recommend it!

Thanks for including my “Be a Blogger” post. Speaking of Davidson, I wrote a “Cinderella” themed post today you may want to check out. I started it out as a “fun” post, but it took on a serious tone when I applied the principles to finance.
