A CATCH-UP AND A LOOK BACK!
Elizabeth Vargas & Bob WoodruffGood Morning! It's been busy around here, so I've had to adjust my blogging schedule. I've enrolled in a Wellness Program and last night, we ran through the cardio training that I will undertake on alternate days from strength training.

The music is coming along at a nice pace, and my beloved Laptop Computer was repaired and re-delivered to me.

On the journalism side, I am covering three stories that are each in varying stages of development. This is often the case when you are awaiting clearances. Speaking of Journalists, I was paging through a 3 ring binder I have here at home and came across a January 2, 2006 newspaper article titled: "New Era Begins for ABC Newscast". The article was about one of my favorite Journalists--Elizabeth Vargas (who once worked here in the Phoenix market) and Bob Woodruff. Bob grew up in Michigan and became a corporate lawyer in New York City. During a leave of absence to teach school in China, Bob wound up helping ABC cover the Tienanmen Square uprising. Elizabeth worked in Missouri, Nevada, Arizona and Chicago markets before she landed at ABC as host of "20/20". I felt that the pairing Elizabeth and Bob was a stroke of genius, with Elizabeth in New York while Bob traveled worldwide. His near fatal head injury in Iraq as the consequence of a roadside bomb led to a lengthy recovery period. During this time, Elizabeth resigned to start a family and Charles Gibson took the reigns. Bob Woodruff thankfully recovered. In the meantime, all evening news shows struggle and I believe we will see more changes at all of the networks. Where do you turn for news and who is your favorite news anchor? Radio or Television is fair game.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!
(I'll continue to catch up with each of you)

Hey, Michael, glad you got your laptop back! Hope it's fixed for good. I missed you!
I watch ABC for most of my news coverage, both national and world news, and local news on our ABC affiliate, KAIT in Jonesboro, Arkansas. I watch CNN and some of the other major news channels occasionally, depends on what's happening and who's got the best coverage at the time.
Happy weekend! ;o)
Love and hugs,
Diane
YAY YAY!! LAPTOP!!

Christiane Amanpour was my fav ever since she reported from the finacial district on 9/11 covered in dust. she wouldnt leave. they evacuated RUDY, and she still wouldnt leave.
she is brave as heck, so they sent her to iraq i think . lol
im a CNN, type of girl. sometimes i watch foxnews, but i switch around. im a fan of any and all female reporters that they plop a helmet on, and throw into the war zones. in my next life i want to be one of those. that or a storm chaser. :)

Diane: Sounds like a good mix. Lots of LUV!!! :D
Dari: Many thanks for your love and your sincere kind compliments. They are very much appreciated. Corrected by a 16 year-old! :D) That's great! I will be happy to add you, you bet. lol!
A great pair..
Have a good weekend Michael..
wow you've got so much going on! and so many good things
I'm a big fan of Bob Woodruff, he's done a lot for injured soldiers since his own recovery
I'm deeply disappointed in our news media and question motives, honesty and agenda about virtually all of them. I rotate who I watch but really prefer the BBC and blogs like Huffington.
Dianne: lol! Yes, the BBC is one I enjoy too--very good quality.
Green Tea: You TOO!!!!lol!!!!!!:D
