Within a span of two weeks, American broadcasting lost one of its premier sportscasters, a top-notch political analyst, interviewer, and moderator, and one of it's best clowns. Jim McKay was an icon of my childhood growing up watching sports on American television. He'd travel the world to bring some of the more obscure sports into our home. Ski jumping, cliff diving, the Olympics. Back when I cared about the Olympics, I stayed up into the night with Jim in 1972 as he covered the horrific events ...
No, it is not David. There's a little old woman who lives across the street from us by the name of Miss Perry-- "Miss" because her husband died years ago.

You see, every holiday there appears a card or gift on our front steps like clockwork. Miss Perry delivers flowers, too, when her confederate roses ...

Sadly I missed the fact that it was a pocket book ...

I just posted this in the How Are You Feeling Today thread. I might as well put it my blog. This is a major shock and a significant event in my life and I want to keep a record of it. How Are You Feeling Today? Shaken, very shaken. Angry. Disheartened. Someone at work collapsed at his desk this morning and a couple of us were trying to help him while the ambulance came.
