I GUESS I'm happy to be back at work after a week or so off. It's very easy to get lazy. But I was getting a little bit bored. I mean, last night, my partner and I were checking Ellie's profile on Catster to see if she acquired any more "friends." (She has.) And we asked a cat named "Sassy" to be Ellie's friend. And, FYI, we haven't heard back from "her" yet. Why do I have the feeling I'm back in high school?


MEANWHILE...my first post-vacation assignment was to cover a press conference at the Department of Homeland Security. Secretary Chertoff briefed. In between furiously scribbling down notes and trying to stay awake, I wondered to myself how shitty a job it must be to be in charge of making sure we don't get hit by another terrorist attack. And you think YOU have a hard time getting to sleep at night. Tough gig. He's also way shorter than I imagined.
