Ms. Thomas was a true Journalist, and a dogged questioner of power. I grieve her passing. I'm not sure that we will see her like again.

I do too. And we most likely won't.

Modern "journalism" seems to no longer involve asking questions....

Listening to "Naturally" right now, for about the 100th time.

The passing of my sweetheart and three of our four cats. I'm glad she missed the passing of Wookie and Mommy. Muffy-aka-pink (nose) was hard enough on her.

Muffy 2000- Oct 2011
Linda Jul 4, 1954- Feb 2, 2012
Wookie 2000- Mar 15, 2013

Mommy 1999- Aug 4, 2013

Ollie (Oliver Twist - [I]please, sir, can I have some more[/I]) and I are holding the fort.
