Lyndsey has been laughing at me like I laughed at her when she was "heartbroken" for years when Brandon Lee (the Crow) died. Repeating what I use to say to her all those years ago. I said it was different; it is different. Tim Russert was not an actor. I'm pretty much a political junkie and news junkie and really liked his position that his political background had nothing to do with his position as Moderator on Meet the Press.
Meet the Press today, was all about him with long time friends talking in tribute to him. Tom Brokaw and Mike Barnacle (two other favorite newsmen and, I understand, his two best friends) cried when they tried to talk about him. What a loss to his family; what a loss to journalism; what a loss to his friends; what a loss to America. Election Night will never be the same; Sunday Mornings will never be the same.
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog today.

You did not know him...... lol
It is such a shock when someone so young dies so suddenly. But somehow I think I would rather go fast than slowly. Unfortunately longevity runs in our family. I keep having to grapple with visions of what may lie ahead. My mother's last twenty years were not the happiest. Whatever the future holds I'm hoping it will allow me to have a dog or a cat as a companion!
When you spend a lot of time in front of the TV (which I do too), I can understand how people can start to feel like part of your life. I'm sure that his passing is a terrible loss to his family, and such a shock.
It's sad, but I'm amazed how mainstream media news is constantly talking about this when there are other huge things going on in our country.
But I definitely understand your sorrow.
