Tim Russert, RIP


Friends, I'm sad, as perhaps you are, by the news of journalist Tim Russert's sudden death.
Here's the story.
Aside from his keen journalistic skills, I admired him equally for his apparent soft touch and for being a "regular" person. So often, you see people at the top of their respective professions walking around like gods--with great arrogance. Russert seemed to have his feet on the ground.
NBC's Brian Williams called him "aggressively unfancy." I like that.

We think those folks with a lot of life just seem to burn out before the others. We've seen it before and we wonder if humans see it, too.
