Sunshine n' Sue-shine

The truth of the matter is that I am still in such post-election zen that the negativity and snipeyness that occasionally fuels my blogging is running low. I am chilled out enough that I am even happy to plug a new NBC News video Yes We Can: The Barack Obama Story available HERE. Let's see where my mellowness takes us today ....

Anderson Cooper talked about the Atlanta Housewives on Leno last night. He trashed Kim and said she has no talent, and pledged his undying love again to NeNe. I need to send Anderson a muffin basket or something to dull the pain of Big Poppa taking a hit out on him. By the way, big news on Kim's CD on the reunion show.

The picture in this entry is what I saw when I looked out my window this morning.

Wow. Seeing the tree has two immediate effects on me. First it makes me vow to do some Christmas shopping this weekend. It also makes me think of the first lady of NYC local news, and the first lady of Rockefeller Center, Miss Sue Simmons. I think that instead of the tree, we should erect an eight-story red pant-suited statue of Sue and dangle lights and ornaments from her.

I don't get to see Sue as much as I'd like in the hallways here (I saw beautiful Beyonce yesterday, but she doesn't compare to Sue) but I was in the elevator a couple days before the election when that lady marched in beside me and my mouth hit the floor. Sue had on a layer of makeup to withstand even the narsty glare of an HD camera, and the lady wore red.

She gave me a cheery, Sue-shiney "hello" and then began talking to her friend about something that I couldn't understand. It had to do with knee surgery and I am 99.9% sure she said "Chuck" to her friend.
Hearing Sue say "Chuck" is like hearing Donny talk about Marie, or Jaclyn talk about Farrah. I think one example may have been enough; you get it. It's just fun.
