Tim Russert died today, Friday the 13th. He was only 58; sad to die so young. He and his wife had just returned from Italy, after going there their son to celebrate Luke's recent graduation from BC .
Who would have thought he'd be outlived by:
1. Dick Cheney?!?!?!?
2. Big Russ (his 80+ yo dad)?
3. John McCain?
Although I thought the "gotcha" questions were at times grossly unfair, and that the casting was extremely anti-women and anti-minority, I still watched Meet the Press semi-regularly. So I'll miss watching him. I do hope the next host of Press the Meat can get fewer old white men.

Continuing my medical rant, yeah, I didn't like hearing about Russert. He was born the same year as I was! I'm also burdened by the hopefully incorrect information that my father had his first bypass around my age and my mother had her stroke in her late 50s also. I keep taking comfort in the facts that my dad & Russert were significantly heavier than I am and that neither of my parents (and possibly Russert) didn't exercise at all. I'm trying to eat more fruit & veggies, less cookies & cake and walking farther and more frequently. Who knows if any of this does anything worthwhile?
Yeah...it may be like that line in the old Woody Allen movie Sleeper, where the people from the future tell him that steak and hotfudge sundaes are the healthiest things people can eat.
