Weathering the forecasters, storm troopers: “Forward, March!”*

"I've got your back..." So says the smiling meteorologist whose modeling career is on what's curiously termed a star on the rise, while standing out...in front of a green screen (with her head, oddly situated, in the clouds)...

"Just in case, take an umbrella" More of a style statement than an act of precaution, given her perfectly done hair and make-up, after coming in from the storm front...

"We'll keep an eye out for you" While standing calmly in what's termed the calm eye, of the hurricane...

"Just smile and wave" While making waves, and while waves start lapping up behind her, getting in the way of the wave of folks trying to evac..."streaming live!"

"You say tornado, I'll say tornato" Either way I get to keep my job, being right half the time...as in "there's always a possibility..." 

"Let's call the Whole thing off" 🎝**At least until things calm down around here. This is when the lamb comes in. 

*Signaling a steady state, disciplined set of movements, whereas this month has been anything but…

** Setting the mood, ever since Gershwin composed it in 1937, but really put into motion by my favorite pairing of Ella Fitzgerald and Lois Armstrong (I could weather just about anything while listening to this dynamic duo)

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
