No more Mr. Rogers? What sad news. The grace, love, and inspiration Mr. Rogers showed in his life and while working with children made him an awesome role model. I feel lucky to have grown up with programs like his, Sesame Street, Captain Kangaroo, The Muppet Show and 3-2-1 Contact. Mom didn't let us watch much TV... but those shows are warm fuzzies in my memory bank. Thank you Mr. Rogers! (and Mom!)

Tom's back from Asia!! Wait.... um, he's back IN Asia... no wait... ok let me get this straight... he's finally back in Japan!! After being gone for a month, the boyfriend's back and we've got a date!! Woo-hoo! Lord of the Rings tonight, skiing with the gang tomorrow. I'm hoping to spend less time on my butt. TGIF!
