Just Because:
I have been away most of the weekend and was looking forward to sleeping in this morning. Best laid plans...5:30a.m my dog could no longer handle the raccoon hanging out in the back yard and insisted I get up to let him out. Of course as soon as the door was opening, the raccoon took off but the damage was done, I was awake. On the plus side, Peter Alexander was filling in on The Today Show (how did I miss his appeal during the Olympics...) so putting on the coffee and staying up was not that difficult. I like you Matt Lauer but when are you retiring?
