Peabody Award ceremony

Today was the luncheon/ceremony for the Peabody Awards. Was truly gratifying to be part of a respectable body of winners, and inspiring to continue the good work.

I wish you all could have been there, as you are the heart and soul of the site and all the hard work that went into it. A gajillion thank yous to all your contributions, more than can be jammed into a :30 speech. Gary, Terry and Elmo were onstage to receive the award... and of course Kevin played some mischief to Gary's straight guy. Cute. And now to the important stuff:

Location: Waldorf Astoria ballroom. No alcohol was served, just coffee, water and a cooler of Coke products. Salmon, salad, cheese breadstick thing, and chocolate mousse. Diane Sawyer hosted -- she stood for most of the 2 hours, has nice compusure and seemed genuinely interested. The rest of the recipients are listed here:

I'm sure the statue will go behind a glass case on the 4th floor, but in the meantime, you can take a bite out of the Peabody chocolate hanging on my door.

Mondo congrats and thank you to everybodeeee!!!
