But, truth be told, not even I could not be part of Katie’s CBS news audience. At that time of night, my kids are coming home from sports and or school and there’s homework and dinner to contend with. It just doesn’t work with our schedule. Also, by the time the evening newscasts are on, I’ve already been filled in on current events, having checked my customized Yahoo news home page several times throughout the day. At that stage in the game, also, I don’t want to see the ugly video clips—and I certainly don’t want my sons to see them. I’ve concluded that actually seeing the violence does nothing to enhance my life. Hearing about it is enough.
So, was it a mistake? I think not. Growing is about changing. Katie needed growth and, even though her CBS endeavor hasn’t exactly been a success, I think she probably grew personally and professionally from it. She certainly got a chance to enjoy quality time with her two teenage daughters, which, I think is as important as leaving a mark on history. Her career, like everyone’s, will ebb and flow. Each move we make leads us to something different and new. Life is a journey, not a destination.
Quite frankly, I’m excited for Katie at this exact moment. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
