I can’t get over how perfect the weather is (as everyone can see from my Weather Pixie!) I could be outdoors all day long with weather like this.

George Tenet resigned today as Director of the C.I.A. The reasoning behind it? According to Tenet, “It was a personal decision, and had only one basis in fact: the well being of my wonderful family, nothing more and nothing less." Riiiggghhhttt...
