Sorry for the light blogging yesterday. Quite unexpectedly, my wife and I have been flown to Las Vegas, where she’ll be the announcer for the Miss America pageant. She did the voice-overs for their TV commercials, and after leaving us hanging for about a week, the pageant people finally let us know on Wednesday that they wanted her to be the announcer for the pageant as well. Which means your humble, unshaven hermit of a Media Blogger had to shave and procure a tux and clean up in general — a difficult-enough task if given a week, much less a few days. That’s the bad news. The good news is, as the husband of a big-shot, I’ll have some degree of access at the pageant, and I’ll be blogging about it this weekend — so if you’re interested in that sort of thing, tune in.

Oh, and by the way guys: Save your e-mails asking me to bring back a contestant for you. I’ve already promised half of the guys at NR and I think the airlines have some kind of limit on carry-on items.
