I have made no secret here and elsewhere, that I am an early bird. Most would say a "very" early bird. Over the more recent years of here, I've started my Tuesday through Saturday mornings with what I've come to call: "Two Nicolles and a Brian!" I am able to catch their cable news shows on-line on MSNBC from their night before, on my "morning after" in Cadrieu.
Brian Williams had been a favorite of mine long before he anchored the 11th Hour with Brian Williams.
News anchors can become parts of our lives, without even realizing it.
Brian's coverage of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina...
...and the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, kept him at the top of my list. This morning, Brian announced that he will be leaving MSNBC when his contract is up at the end of this year.
I'd heard rumblings in the media. I've noticed other bits and pieces on the 11th Hour, so I was somewhat prepared. I just want to say how much I will miss him. He became an important person and connection for me, while I live at a distance during these pandemic lives of ours.
There is a lot of moving on for many these days. I wish him all the best and an open and beautiful road ahead.
Happy Wednesday!
*All the Ferguson photos were taken from my parents' living room on Elizabeth Avenue in Ferguson, the night that the verdict of the Grand Jury was announced. These were scenes on television that were happening from just around the corner on Florissant Avenue, to close to a half of a mile away in Dellwood. As you can see, the cavalry didn't come to Dellwood or Ferguson until it was too late. They were in Clayton.
