The view to the east this evening was beautiful. Pink cotton candy clouds on a sky of flawless blue.

It should be a beautiful day tomorrow, perfect for getting some yard work done and getting the gutters cleaned out.

Tim Russert has died of a heart attack. He was 58 years old. He had just returned from a vacation in Italy to celebrate his son’s graduation from Boston College.

Our condolences and prayers are with his friends and family.
