RIP Russert

I was very moved by Tim's Russerts memorial service today. I think growing up watching 60 minutes I really came to have a deep appreciation for journalism and I just love hearing journalists speak. I was moved by everyone of them up there - Tom Brokaw, Maria Shrivers, Doris Kearns Goodwin. And it was a great visual to see all the prominent Washington luminaries in the audience. I felt the same when Reagan died, though I was never a fan. And, heck, I gotta say - not too crazy with Tim Russert and his coverage of Clinton but that's neither here nor there.

And to be eulogized with "Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen, Russert's favorite song (mine too). Chills.

There was some difficult negotiation walking away from that keeping myself from welling up as I was about to jump on a call with a client. I pulled it together in time. :)
