The old Will Schuster is back on "Glee," or at least that is what Mr. Schu said at the beginning of the February 15, 2011 episode "Comeback." While the jury remains out about whether or not the real Will Schuster is standing up, one can safely say the old "Glee" is back. The past two episodes have went back to a faster pace than pre-Christmas episodes such as "Never Been Kissed" while maintaining plenty of music and character development.

Aside from Pitt's work setting up the Jane Pitt pediatric cancer Center (named for his mom) in his hometown of Springfield, MO, yesterday the couple's Jolie-Pitt Foundation gave $1 million to assist displaced refugees in Pakistan. This move created much less of a stir than yesterday's dress revelation.

The fun starts at 3 p.m. with face painting. At 5 p.m., the Blackhawks mascot "Tommy Hawk" arrives. Hair shaving continues until 8 p.m. Appointments are not necessary.

Can you believe Sue's new plan to disrupt New Directions? Once again Sue is working to shatter the Glee club from the inside out. Sue's manipulations actually led to a stellar diva-off between Mercedes and Rachel. They began performing the song "Take Me or Leave Me" from "Rent" and ended as the friends they have become. While Sue's original plan didn't work out, we find out at the end of the program that she is now the director of rival club Oral Intensity. Ouch.

There's plenty to do this weekend in Lynchburg. In addition to Grandparents Day and all of the family-friendly events, it's a good weekend for a picnic, walk in the park or spending time enjoying the great outdoors.

Those who live nearby may attend Grandparents Day at Poplar Forest on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Is there one particular Downtime event or charity which has stood out and inspired you over the previous few years?
