Ann Curry in Antarctica!

NBC has touched down in McMurdo as part of their "Pole to Pole" coverage. While I don't normally advocate watching television, and the chance that I'll be on TV is slim to none, it might be interesting to see some live footage from my 'hood. (You'll also see Matt Lauer in Greenland and Al Roker somewhere tropical.)

Here's the schedule:
-Monday, Nov 5: Today Show, 5:00-9:15 am eastern time
-Tuesday, Nov 6: Today Show, 5:00-9:15 am eastern time
-Tuesday, Nov 6: Nightly News, 6:15-7:00 pm eastern time

All this talk of television is weirding me out. Here's a shot to put things back in perspective: a cross erected on Hut Point (which derives its name from the hut mentioned earlier). Hut Point is the tip of the Hut Point Peninsula (which derives its name from the point that derives its name from the hut.) Anyway, it honors George Vince, an explorer with Scott who died in 1902, and whose body was never found.


Don't forget to set your clocks and check your fire alarms! (Jude especially!)
