What a News Day!

I take a 3-day weekend splashing around the pool for hours upon hours and come inside to see what a news day it has been today!

The DC Metro Train crash is awful. Mike and I have been on those trains many times. I’ve always felt safe. The stations are clean, the trains are always on time, and the people are friendly. But you never, ever know, do you?  God bless everyone who was hurt and for all the rescuers and medical staff helping them.

Let me begin by disclosing I have never watched an episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight, and nor will I likely ever. But you’d have to be living under a rock to not know who they are and what’s going on.  Yes, they officially are getting divorced.  All I can think is – the poor kids.

Tonight’s episode of Access Hollywood, usually one of my more favorite entertainment shows, actually made me nauseated.  The amount of time they spent on this absolutely stupid publicity stunt by Perez Hilton and the Black Eyed Peas was obnoxious. If my remote hadn’t been on the other side of the room I would have switched away.  What a waste of precious TV time.

An Orlando K-9 officer was shot and killed today by his owner.  I couldn’t believe this story when I heard it. Damn these criminals who instigate all this.  Damn, damn criminals.

And the US Open.  My work-out buddy Tiger made his famous final day advance but my heart and everyone else’s was with Phil.  Phil Mickelson did an amazing job coming from behind to tie for 2nd place.  But the coveted trophy was not his to have.  Instead, unknown southerner Lucas Glover took the prize.  They say he is well deserving of it.  This was a very fun US Open to watch this year, despite all the weather delays. It’s always more entertaining when Tiger and Phil are chasing each other for the win.

Yes – I know there were other important news stories today.  I’ve kept my eye on the Iran unrest, the N.Korean missile crisis, Barach’s moves, Casey Anthony’s trial, the heat, and the stock market dive today. I just don’t feel like writing about them.

Back to you Bob & Marla.
