I’m off to Michigan this morning … as soon as I shower, pack, clean the kitchen and get the cats ready for my absence. Yeah, I should probably get moving instead of sitting on the couch. Oh well.

Yesterday I was totally shocked to see that Tim Russert died. Wow. For one, he was relatively young. For another, he was THE reason I watched Meet the Press. He was so snarky and smart and I loved that. I’ve been avoiding any and all TV coverage; it’s too upsetting to see his colleagues so upset.

Okaaaaaay … time to get in the shower … and then get psyched about my 285 mile drive …..
