| Sweet treats for my sweetie |
While
we’re waiting for bids to come in, Elliott’s kitchen activities are on hold and
he’s had to find new ways to occupy his time. With more spring-like
weather – finally – he’s been getting out and going on neighborhood errand runs
with me. A couple of days ago, I took him to the bank where he received
not just one, but three lollipops! The highlight of our week, however,
was yesterday’s visit to the studios of PBS in Arlington. Thanks to our
friend Bill, we were able to get an insider’s look at the production of the PBS
News Hour. This amazing experience gave us a real appreciation for how
complicated and finely choreographed the production of a news program is.
Over seventy people are involved with the program, and despite being very busy,
everyone we met welcomed us warmly and explained their role. We spent
over an hour watching from the control room while Judy Woodruff was at the
anchor desk. Afterwards, she very graciously greeted us and posed for
some photos. We finished the evening with a wonderful dinner at Carlyle,
just around the corner from the PBS building in Shirlington.
