Rob, you do a darned good, wide-ranging budget, with real depth and international interest.

Why thank you PEP. I never thought I would but over the years I've really come to enjoy doing early morning news direction and budgets, seeing what the world is looking at, etc.
I'd probably be doing it even if I wasn't working here (though I probably wouldn't get as good coverage!)

Rob, Did you add 10 more employees up there to cover all this? What a news budget!
