I was pleased with some of the Emmy winners last night. I was especially pleased with Lost capturing the "Best Dramatic Series" Emmy. I am not usually one to watch those awards shows but found myself with dear friends and watching, and not minding like I thought I would.
The best part, the most depressing part of the evening was the tribute to the late great Peter Jennings. It was heart wrenching to see old footage of all three of the great newscasters of our time (Jennings, Rather and Brokaw). The clincher was really seeing Brokaw and Rather, both retired now, on stage talking about their time as newscasters and about their colleague Jennings. I did shed a tear. A tear for the future of news in this country. A tear for the country.
It was a drive home lost in thought last night. No smiles and no frowns, just thinking. The moon was very bright. I'll blame her for my introspective state last evening, after all the events of the day. Not peaceful but thoughtful, and hopefully, like the Emmy's, all the tension will disappear once the decisions have been announced. But then, I need to make all my decisions first. This could take a while. ;)
