1 All right! I'll try it!
2 Are we on the air? <shuffle of microphones> Are we on?
3 Good morning.
4 Guess you heard that.
5 A voice in my head told me to attempt writing a DN LIVE this morning.
6 "I wrote something last night," I said.
7 "You wrote crap. You wrote about your coincidences again. Read my lips: NOBODY CARES."
8 "I care. I think some people are interested. And it wasn't just about coincidences. It was about telekinesis."
9 "Telekuwhatis?"
10 "Nevermind."

12 That Voice. I suppose I could call it the Voice. I'll do that but I'll forget I ever said I would. The Voice. Why not?
13 It's a combo of my own ideas mixed with my own critic.
14 I DID realize that I haven't reported any real news since the Niners. <Crosses self.>
15 Have pitchers and catchers reported yet?

18 Moving things with the Mind.
19 I capitalized the word Mind to give it almost an alien look. Large head. Small face.
20 Nevermind.
21 Okay then, here's TODAY'S news coming to you LIVE!
22 The radio down the hall just had a piece about how cold it is.
23 It was sure cold in Chicago yesterday.
24 How cold was it?
25 <Johnny Carson smile>
26 It was so cold...it was so cold that a "Chicago area" restaurant was selling soup to the elderly at the price of the outside Farenheit temperature.
27 In some cases the restaurant had to pay the customers if the temp went below zero. This fun promo continues through February. You gotta love it.
28 Could the restaurant get its money back if the customers complain?
29 Last week I read that Angry Birds, Flickr, and some other apps connected to Facebook tracked our info and it is now in the hands of someone.
30 Who knew?
31 I thought Arlen Specter investigated that one a few years ago and came up with an sheepish admission that the government had been spying on our cell phones, but just for little stuff.
32 Specter is the guy who along with Gerald Ford came up with the single-bullet theory in the JFK assassination.
33 I prefer the Angry Birds angle.
34 Here's an item. Nobody listened to Obama's State of the Union speech last night.
35 I tried. It didn't even seem noisy or newsworthy. You'd think a sleepy nation would wake up to that address.
36 John Boehner looked like Sleepy.
37 Anybody lookin'?
38 The Voice seems to have rested here a bit.
39 Moving On, Part One: Sad to see that folk icon Pete Seeger walked into the proverbial bar.
40 Seeger, a songwriter and political activist extraordinaire wrote such lovely tunes as If I Had a Hammer, Where Have All the Flowers Gone, and the immortal Turn! Turn! Turn!
41 Heartbreaking in an era when heartbreak now means someone didn't answer a tweet.
42 When will they ever learn?
43 So simple.
44 I'll leave it at that.
45 So simple.
46 Live life.
47 Love life.
48 Peace.
~H~
