Where in the world ...

Where in the world is Matt Lauer? Next to me. Or was. Other morning I looked up when I heard the familiar voice of the Today Show host. Was cruising by in Today Show cart. The rest of us are slogging through an early morning funk and Matt is annoyingly alert and perky. Must be his time of day. 

You can sense the pride the Chinese take in the Water Cube and Birds Nest and other architectural wonders. They're snapping plenty of photos of these symbols of their ascent as world superpower. The other day I noticed a family standing near Water Cube. The couple's little daughter  - must be 3 or 4 - was literally dancing in the street. They asked me to take photo of them. Sort of a kick for me.
