I was sitting in the living room this morning, idly surfing the tube with the mute on (I do this a lot when A. is thinking/working in the other room) while combing out my hair when I came upon CNN International.
There was no footage of anything except the anchor, who was yapping away. I didn’t take the time to read his lips (Scary, but I am getting awfully good at that!), but the headline read “Rice in Beijing.”
I was just getting settled in my chair so that I could watch one of CNN’s “riveting” reports about the growing, eating, and/or cooking of rice in China when Condoleezza Rice was shown shaking hands with the Chinese president.
Oh, I thought with a frown, it was that kind of rice!
