Three Hundred Million

First, happy birthday yesterday to Ronn Owens. My favorite talk show host has turned sixty-one. He didn't pay me enough to not mention his age.

Our country now officially has three hundred million residents in it.

The computer models came to the conclusion that at 4:46 on the morning of October 17, somewhere in southern California, the three hundred millionth person would arrive.

There's still a debate as to whether person no. 300,000,000 was pushed out of a womb or had climbed over a fence. :-)

I was sad to hear of the passing of Christopher Glenn, who was the guy on CBS who did 'In The News'.

This was the series of two-minute Saturday morning newscasts developed so a child could understand world events.

He was right up there with Fred Rogers for me, and he was one of the principal reasons I really learned the importance of paying attention to the news.

Good night, Christopher. May you sleep in peace and wake in wonderment.

Yay, Project Runway season finale tonight.

Michael is the darling and will probably win this, but I am REALLY pulling for Jeffrey.

All right, that's it. Have a good Wednesday.
