Farewell to France
Sunday, October 21, 2007
Well, the
2007 Rugby World Cup is over, with the South African
Springboks having been crowned champions. It has been
an incredible tournament, and an incredible joy to
watch Michael having so much fun. While covering
sports is certainly not his forte and it will be
wonderful to have him back to doing what he does
best, these past three weeks have shown us a side
that we usually never get to see on television, so I
have to send out a big cyber thank-you out to The
Powers That Be at CNN for sending him on this
assignment, even though the Wallabies lost and he was
freezing his... well, he was really cold on Friday!
I don't know whether we will see him at all for the
next couple of weeks. He has that MEI conference at
the end of the month, so hopefully between now and
then he will get to do some actual off-the-clock
relaxing before heading back to his rooftop "office."
(But no worries, the TiVos are still running, just in
case! Poor little things never get a
vacation!)
