My hug with Cindy. It keeps showing up on NBC Nightly News and Today

Show.

I think it's replayed to show Cindy's warmth and humanity. I was affected by my interaction with her as displayed here, in DU:

The first video record was on August 12, the Today Show...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8909497/

Look for the straw hat.

The second was Aug. 16. I'm still looking for the online report, but I have it DVR'd. Here is the thread I started after I saw it.

And, then, tonight, again. (straw hat alert).

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619/

I show up at about 1:39 of the video.

It was part of the report about Rumsfeld defending the "war". The hat is the giveaway.

I am so honored that my moment with Cindy is out there. MKJ

2. Oh wow...I saw that. It's kind of funny...
I was actually thinking to myself, when Cindy had her arm around the hat, that I could actually feel what the hat felt like. It's been a long time since I wore one or held one but I could feel it.

3. The hat has become sacred in our house...
I don't know what I'll eventually do with it, but, no one but me can touch it right now..:hi: MKJ

4. heh...reminds me of this scene from This is Spinal Tap
Nigel Tufnel: Look... still has the old tag on, never even played it.
Marty DiBergi: You've never played...?
Nigel Tufnel: Don't touch it!
Marty DiBergi: We'll I wasn't going to touch it, I was just pointing at it.
Nigel Tufnel: Well... don't point! It can't be played.
Marty DiBergi: Don't point, okay. Can I look at it?
Nigel Tufnel: No. no. That's it, you've seen enough of that one.
