Feb. 2, Groundhog Day. On the train with Sue and Marie heading back from New York, where I was sitting in for Farai Chideya at News & Notes. We were the first "live" broadcast out of New York bureau (yay). There's no way to describe how much work went into that move. Boxes were still being unpacked, equipment still being set up.

But everybody's attitude was amazing — even when we arrived for the show at the crack of dawn. They could not have been nicer, more accommodating or more "can do." Now, though, my evil side has to come out. These people not only have fabulous new digs ... with a fab view of the Empire State Building ... they also have an AMAZING sandwich shop right next door. How messed up is that? And don't even get me started on the great shopping down the street. Life is so unfair.

Check in with you from DC next week....
