ALWAYS THE LITTLE THINGS


I don't know why I got so interested in this.

But I really was. I stayed up for as late as I could stretch it last night, disappointed because it was only George Tenet's testimony that I saw. Clarke was testifying 4 hours later. That would be 4 am in our time. Right... just when I didn't need to be up at 3 cause I was giving myself a break. But I really wanted to see it so I set the alarm at 3:30.

Fafa Jay asked me why I was interested in the news all of a sudden. He knows only too well that I don't read the news... I watch it yes, for a few minutes, and the I drift off. But read it from cover to cover? Hell, no. So I guess it really surprised him that I would stay up late for this. I told him, 'Who knows? It might be another Watergate scandal in the making. I'd like to be in on it when it happens, and not in the aftermath again.'

Of course, I didn't hear the alarm go off cause I stayed up too late and woke up an hour later instead. I caught Clarke affably trounce it out with the last 5 or 6 commissioners but that's about it. I missed his whole testimony. Dang!

But then, all is not lost. Fafa Jay, seeing that this bit really got me interested, sent me this news clip in an email. He did that in the middle of work, just because... You see, it's little things like this that makes me remember each time how I felt when I said to him I loved him, like the first time.
