When I saw the change to fitness, I laughed because I knew the date. :-)

But some serious news last week did make for some chaos, with SPD closing down. Wow. Not April Foolish.

Yes - when you mentioned fitness I knew it had to be a joke.

When I read the name change, I just knew it was an April Fool's joke & scrolled down.

Glad nothing is changing!! Love reading Lit Mag News.

LOL You might get a prize for the most lengthy written April Fools joke in history. It's rumored that the Prize Van is scheduled to stop at your house tomorrow--April 4--around 11:59 pm. They'll be bringing you.....Excuse me. I smell something burning. It's my roommate. He's set himself on fire again. He does this every spring.

He believes that "April is the cruelest month of all."
