The edition was late today because I live in Costa Rica. Pura Vida.  I was able to get a ride into Santa Cruz to buy my bus ticket to San Jose for my medical treatment on Monday. I wanted to buy a round trip ticket but was unable to. I found out that I must buy my return ticket at the bus station in San Jose. The Costa Rican people have the patience of Job.

Kerik, who was hailed as a hero alongside former Mayor Rudy Giuliani after the Sept. 11 terror attacks and nearly became chief of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, admitted in November that he lied to the White House, filed false taxes and committed other crimes.

Subject: Cross?

Lisa,
Two thoughts about the photo you ran at the end of Wednesday's offering. Where exactly was this supposed cross? and, I bet that if you showed that picture before the request for money, you would get more contributors (especially men).

When I first saw that photo my thought was, "I love her tan lines." And being a woman, I checked out her accessories and noticed a sparkly cross hanging from her neck and wondered what would Jesus think.

You must be psychic, Rick. See the email below.
