There is a theory that time is moving faster!  I know I've heard that it moves faster and faster as people age, . . . but over night?  Whew!  I just finished two articles and already  I just received more  Roswell events today!!!

My articles on  Roswell  have proven to be wildly successful and have rated the top in the nation, but I guess there is just too much happening in Roswell for the action to rest, even if but for a moment..  In anticipation of the Roswell UFO Festival, here is an update that  was sent to me by e-mail as added to the exciting events over the 4th of July weekend.  This sounds like even more fun . . . can't wait to get there!.
