"And the biggest insult was that my 'slam dunk' reference dealt almost entirely with Georgetown's shot at the Final Four, which I forecast perfectly."

We've returned to Vermont for a few days and already it feels like a place we never left. Friends are so apt to make you feel that way. Expect pics and plenty of shtick about said trip in the days ahead. But for the time being, I'm fascinated and enthused by the snippet of the sure to be jawdropping interview George "Is this Medal of Freedom redeemable for anything?" Tenet has given to "60 Minutes" to be aired on Sunday. Call it just one more brick in the wall being built to house the eventual universal condemnation of the Bushies. Or just call it compelling as hell TV from an obviously pissed lifetime civil servant. Unless you work at CBS, you haven't seen the whole spiel. As if that matters. Watch it regardless. Or just check back here early next week to get my full frontal take on Tenet's foggy bottom line.

Hope your own sugaring season is still in full swing. Rock on.
