The OFFICE: St Patrick’s Day
Last night on the office it's St Patrick's Day, which is a Huge Holiday in Scranton Pennsylvania, and Jim returns from Parental Leave only to find that Dwight has taken his desk to create MEGA DESK. After Jim retrieves his desk, Dwight tries using Jim's separation anxiety from the baby to get him to quit.
Erin gets sent home because she's sick, so Andy fakes an illness to get away and their first date is watching TV at Erin's place.
Michael's attempt to impress Sabre CEO, Jo, goes badly. Not wanting to make things worse, Michael and the gang work late to keep up with Jo. Finally, Michael stands up to Jo and sends his team home, so they can finally enjoy their St Patrick's Party.
DRYING CLOTHES OUTDOORS
There's a neighborhood fight going on in Massachusetts that is making its way to Town Hall. The cause of this conflict? Hanging Clothes on a laundry line outside. The Boston Globe quotes some neighbors calling the laundry an "unsightly display". The woman at the center of the controversy told reporters that this is a class struggle "...indicates poverty if you hang out your wash.''
Have you ever hung your laundry?
Would you be comfortable with laundry lines in your neighborhood?

Baby’s Coming: The OFFICE Update
The One Hour Special last night was devoted to Jim and Pam having their baby. But despite having contractions every six minutes and even having her water break, Pam wouldn't go to the hospital. She wanted to wait until midnight because her insurance plan would only cover a two day stay. Finally the contractions became too painful for Pam to wait any longer so Michael drove her and Jim to the hospital. After nineteen hours in labour, Pam gave birth to a 7lb 2oz baby girl, Cecilia Marie Halpert.
Michael's enthusiasm for baby Halpert turns him into an Office cupid, and tries to match Kevin and Erin, despite her attraction to Andy. Meanwhile Dwight ripped out Jim & Pam's kitchen cupboards after noticing some mold when he was looking for Pam's ipod. Then, after many months of missteps, Andy and Erin finally make a dinner date.
New Canadian Money?
An American politician wants to replace the face of Ulysses S. Grant on the $50 bill with that of former President Ronald Reagan. And this got me thinking about the portraits on our Canadian Money. We have $5, $10, $20, $50, and the $100. Should we change portraits on any of those bills?
The Royal Canadian Mint is always putting together new series, like the Olympics coin series. Do we need any larger bills? Let me know what you think? Email me rdaniels2@radio.astral.com
Bottled Water Free Day
Canada's Young People are concerned about the future of our water.
Remember when the concept of Bottled water was considered a decadence of the wealthy? Why not drink tap water? That's why the Canadian Federation of Students, the Sierra Youth Coalition, and the Polaris Institute have declared Thursday March 11th Canada's first Bottled Water Free Day. They are asking you to take a pledge and not drink bottled water, where public water is available. To find out more click here
