Weekend news blotter

Welcome back from the weekend....and it was a notable one for myriad reasons....

1) The 1991 Mazda 626 survived a 620-mile drive through multiple mountainous valleys and back....the only downer being that its driver forgot the gas cap in East Hartford, CT.

2) New Jersey is a fine, green state. The Hudson River Valley is a fine river valley. I have friends in both places who were fine hosts.

3) This was the nicest weather weekend the Northeast U.S. has seen all summer. Hands down.

4) Sarah Palin? A political and personal mess unfolds and even this vehement Democrat feels for a family forced so harshly into the spotlight.

5) My nephew Henry was born on Sunday morning. I've yet to meet him, but have already heard word that he is cuter, blonder and taller than his 35-year-old aunt. His arrival is a definite cause for rejoicing. Thanks, Missy and Chad, for the good work!

Back to our regularly scheduled single-girl programming tomorrow.
