If you are wondering why I haven't been blogging much these days, it's because I haven't been terrible cheery. Waiting for buy-out offers and lay-offs to come down (offers will come a week from today), it's been pretty unpleasant and scary around these parts.
My friends and I never thought we would have to worry about involuntarily leaving this field.
Stay tuned and check this out..

Russert
About a week ago, Dad told me I should sit and watch an episode of "Meet the Press" to see Tim Russert in action. Dad talked about how exceptional he was at his job. How he could question a guest and really put them in the hot seat, but still do it in a professional way. I'm sad that Tim Russert died this past week,a nd not just because it means I won't get to see his show.
Today on Meet the Press there was a panel of his colleagues and friends, looking back on his life and sharing with viewers what an exceptional person he was. I'm disappointed to have to have learned about Russert under these circumstances.
Last night, I was flipping through a book at Barnes and Nobles and came across a quote which said, "The best exercise for your heart is reaching down and lifting someone else up". Today one of the panel said that quote was one of his favorites.
Tom Brokaw, who was on the panel and got choked-up over the loss of his friend a time or two said that last night, while performing in Europe, Russert's favorite musician, Bruce Springsteen dedicated "Thunder Road" to Russert. They concluded the show with sound-bites of Russert talking about his humble beginnings and how grateful he is for his life, while showing photos of him from through-out his life. I don't know if it was a recent clip or one from last year, but they ended the show with a clip of Russert beaming, "Happy Father's Day to big Russ up in Buffalo, and Luke, I'm real proud to be your dad".
Cue waterworks.

Sunshine
Every morning, I check the yard before letting Oliver out, to make sure none of the neighbors are back there (he gets very territorial - very rude!). I leave the door open after he goes out so he can come back in. One morning, quite some time went by and he hadn't returned. When I peeked out the window to see what corner of the yard he was chasing lizards in, I found him on the porch, sun bathing.
How cute is my puppy!?

Handbags
Oliver walked into my shot while I was photographing my latest today...
I love his expression - it's like the people who wave at the camera's from behind Al Roker while he does the forecast from Rockefeller Plaza.
"Hi, Mom!"
