My impressions : He seems likable (no surprise, really). He’s balder than I expected (but I’m also follicularly challenged, so I can’t talk). Any questions? ---

Did he say “uh” a lot, or was he well spoken? ---

Drat! The news was on the TV while I was working out, but I must’ve missed that part. Skillethead says it is gonna pour down buckets this p.m., tho. Was Ed shilling his new book? 😛 ---

I didn’t notice any “uhs”. And, personally, I think all Chicagoans on WGN sound well-spoken. There was a moment when Ed seemed to flub something he was saying but I chalked it up to nervousness. ---

(I probably could have added this in an edit, but…) Yes, **Dinsdale** , Ed was hawking his book. It looked extremely thin. ---

Too bad today wasn’t a cardio day, l where I would have just plunked myself down on a bike or elliptical and watched the tube. ---

There’s a good chance that the bit might get replayed on CLTV later on then, since most of their content comes from the WGN news. Someone should Tivo the dickens out of it and see if they can post it on YouTube. ---

Skillethead was sure right about that “raining buckets” part. 4"+ in some places. Can’t believe how luch and green my yard looks after the last few weeks. ---
