A bird's gotta fly...

Now I do know that it has been a while... a good long while since I last posted. I noticed today how far down the list I am on a friend's blogger list... hence the update.

I love Jay Leno, I have watched him every night since I came back from Florida. I watched him on and off for the better part of the last 8 years. Dad tried to get me to tune into Letterman, I was having none of that!!

When the announcement came that Conan was going to be taking over in 2009, I kept thinking, "ok, well, that sucks, but at least I have a couple years left." On May 29, 2009, that illusion of Jay being on ended. No more... Conan (which I have watched every night thus far this week, and I think he has some potential) has now taken over. The only solace I have is the fact that Leno is coming back in the fall, not The Tonight Show, but I'm sure I'll still love it!

My whole ode to Jay Leno thing aside... it had me thinking, this is really and end of an era. He was on air 17 years, that's a LONG time! I thought it was ironic that the day he ended his tonight show run, I was moving into an apartment to start my "grown up" life. I'm in Dallas now, working, and getting ready to start grad school on Monday, talk about starting a new chapter!!

So... Jay, you and I are kindred spirits, and sometimes, it's just time to start new chapters, spread our wings (forgive the cheesy pun, I had to include it!). See you in the fall!
