Today was a beautiful day! The sun is shining, I covered a fantastic parade, and it is the Playoffs. What more could one really ask for on an ordinary Saturday in April? Yesterday I received word that I would be getting my own column with the Examiner. This Sunday will be the last Byrd's Nest post on Hassan's page and beginning this week I will be writing daily on my own page. This news kicked off my weekend on a good note after a week of ups and downs.

This week I will be moving the Moore's Ford Mission Project to the article on The Examiner, the pieces will be shorter but will come daily, to begin I will repost those that are already complete. Also we will be covering Jovan Roseboro's Moratorium On Selfishness as he walks from Fayetteville, NC to Washington D.C. over the course of 15-20 days, he began on April 23rd and is making great progress thus far.

There's so much more ahead but I don't want to spoil it all...just stay tuned and make sure you have created your account on www.catalinabyrd.com because there's so much going on it's the only way to keep up these days
