TNG: In Case You Missed It - 2/27/09

TNG Events Editor and Contributor Jolly brings you a look at the week that was every Friday.

Welcome to the weekend! I hope your final week of February was a good one. There were the Oscars, Fat Tuesday, unseasonably warm weather, and many other exciting things to keep everyone busy the last few days. And now, just in time for the weekend, comes word of rain - and lots of it. I guess I jinxed the whole thing when I said March was going to start out rather un-lion-like (sorry!) judging for the weather report for the next few days. But a rainy weekend can be a good time to relax, stay under the covers...and catch up on any reading you may have fallen behind on over the past week!

With this in mind, below you will find a sampling of some of the most-discussed posts here on TNG. It's never too late to get in on the conversation, so feel free to read and discuss. Have a great (and dry) weekend everyone!
