Television

I haven't posted in quite some time. Life has a way of rearranging your thinking and schedule. My Mom has been in the hospital and was able to go back home today. She had her gall bladder removed. It's not a big surgery any more especially if you are in your 30's or 40's. Mom is 85. At that age all surgery is serious. She is recovering well and we anticipate a full recovery. 

This will be a brief post. I want you to take a few minutes and find a video to watch on the Internet. Last night Stephen Colbert interviewed Joe Biden. It was the best interview I have ever seen. Forget the politics. Forget the comedy you usually see from Colbert. He is a gifted interviewer. If his show continues along these lines he will change the landscape of late night television. Colbert showed a side of himself we rarely see and it allowed us to see a Joe Biden that normally resides in the shadows. It was the joy and pain of watching two friends talk about love and loss in front of millions of viewers as if no one was watching. It was candid, honest and heartrending. Set politics and entertainment aside for a few minutes and listen to a couple of men talk about grief, loss and faith. One having lost his son to cancer the other losing his father and two brothers in a plane crash. Last night Joe Biden wasn't the Vice President he was a father talking about the grief and pain caused by the loss of his son.
