End of an Era

Today felt like it was the last day of watching the "Today" show for me. It was Katie's last day. I am in mourning. I am pretty sure I can get thru the summer without her... I will just pretend she is on a long vacation... but in September when what's-her-face, the interloper, starts.... I will be hard pressed to watch. It won't be the same.

It's funny.... how things go along the same for so long that you just can't fathom a change. Katie is the longest sitting anchor they have ever had... and with Matt being there 10 years (and Ann and Al) they have been the team I have wandered thru adulthood with. I will surely miss her.

But, I can understand her desire for a new job. A new adventure. A new gig. Similar work, different setting. It's time. I know because I am feeling the same thing.

I've been nine years in my current position and that is enough. The old restlessness has returned and I know it is time for me to move on. What's next? I have no idea. Maybe the same position at a new place. Maybe a new position at the old place. Maybe a new position at a new place. At this point I don't really care which it is... I just know that it's time for a change.

Today, for the first time since Katie's announcement, I understand her decision.

This one's for the girls!
