Why you should check the news in the AM

I really am not a big TV person. Some people love love love it and watch it all the time. My brother loves to go to sleep with the TV on. So I never check the news before I head out for work in the morning. Which is sometimes bad because I never know what the weather is going to be like. I keep an umbrella at work just for emergencies. And my husband is usually my weather guy when he walks the dogs in the morning.

And I did notice that my commute and transfer at Times Square/42nd Street Station was more aggravating than normal. One of those times when packed like a sardine for an hour commute was actually starting to make me feel just a bit claustrophobic. And I did notice the cops...especially the one with the dog who wouldn't stop barking and was echoing up and down the hallways.

Still, I was surprised to hear about the bombing which happened early this morning in Times Square. I am so glad that no one was hurt and sad that things like this happen.
