The “Today” show and Matt Lauer said farewell to long time co-host Katie Couric yesterday. Lars asked, if I was upset that (my girl) Katie was leaving the show to host the “CBS Evening News”? Are you kidding me? For the past 15-years I have awoken to that bubbly smile and those great legs of Katie Couric, watching her return to those U.V.A. sorority girl mannerisms when she interviewed attractive men, especially the interview she did with the hunky Navy S.E.A.L. Commander all gitty and full of youthful exuberance, made me long for a chance to have Katie interview the Bushido. A dance if you will, a brief moment of laughter and playful conversation as I sit across from those “golden staircases” in the hot seat looking quite urbane until her bronzed legs, multi-million dollar smile and mellifluous voice sends my synapses into full frontal-lobe ADHD. I simply smile while distractively forgetting the answers to her questions about how Osama Bin Laden was caught. A fantastic story of friends connected, Osama is captured (after being traced by the CIA and NSA while leaving a cacodylic comment about Dubya on the Bushido) by Lt. Dan and Sniper Sam.
The Bushido wins, Trabert is a Pulitzer Prize winning hero, and Lt. Dan and Sniper Sam both receive a chest full of medals. We celebrate by going out in the cold weather of New York’s Rockefeller Plaza, outside of Studio One to throw snowballs at Al Roker and my Buckeye brother Lauer. The buzz of laughter and the cheer of the crowd fill the air! But alas, this was just a dream, a fog of God’s humor as I reach to smack the alarm for but 10 more minutes of paradise: Osama still lurks, Katie is married, JET is still far from a Pulitzer and now, we must usher in a new side-kick (Meredith Vieira) for Matt, and a new month for us all. Will I survive my now vacant mornings without the Katie Factor? Indeed, I shall; there is always Becky Quick on Squawk Box to start my day. Cheers Katie good luck in the big leagues!

Thats some imagination you have there. What do I think of your love for Katie, it pales in comparison to my love of Jake Delhomme (#17 Carolina Panthers) and/or the lead singer for Weezer!! However, you do got it bad! I hope you get your interview. P.S. She's old!!! LOL. Your blog was great though! Legal Chick
