A secret love had better stay that way for a flair. This is especially true if it is a crush on an older person. Don't even tell your friends about it. Channel your affections toward them, instead. Miracles are more likely there.

Nerves are still a bit on edge. You wouldn't be judged harshly if you simply took off somewhere by yourself, or with a very dear friend. If it's during working hours, have a good business reason.
The policymakers don't seem to have all the pertinent information. Don't stand by in silence; speak up. Your experience, and that of your friends, need to be shared with them.

Football broadcasters Pat Summerall, left, and John Madden stand in the FOX broadcast booth at the Louisiana Superdome before Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans. Madden, who became a broadcaster after ending his coaching career, has announced his retirement
NEW YORK — John Madden is retiring from football announcing, where his enthusiastic, down-to-earth style made him one of sports' most popular broadcasters for three decades.
The Hall of Fame coach spent the last three seasons on NBC's "Sunday Night Football." His final telecast was the Super Bowl in February.
"You know at some point you have to do this — I got to that point," Madden said on his Bay Area radio show Thursday. "The thing that made it hard is not because I'm second guessing, 'is it the right decision?' But I enjoyed it so damn much.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I enjoyed the game and the players and the coaches and the film and the travel and everything."
Cris Collinsworth will replace Madden, moving over from the network's studio show, NBC Sports chief Dick Ebersol said. Collinsworth filled in when Madden took a game off last October.
Ebersol called Madden "absolutely the best sports broadcaster who ever lived."
Madden said his health is fine, but at the age of 73, he wanted to spend more time with his family.
His 50th wedding anniversary is this fall, and his five grandchildren are old enough to notice when he's gone.
"If you hated part of it or if something was wrong, it'd be easy," Madden said.
Madden's blue-collar style and love for in-the-trrenches football endeared him to fans. His "Madden NFL Football" is the top-selling sports video game of all time.
often traveled to games in a specially equipped bus.
Madden is reluctant to fly and
Longtime broadcast partner Al Michaels said Madden would have a unique place in pro football history.
"No one has made the sport more interesting, more relevant and more enjoyable to watch and listen to than John." Michaelsa said in a statement. "There's never been anyone like him and he's the gold standard for analysts for almost three decades."
