Martha and me...

I happened to take a break from my freelance projects on Wednesday and tuned in to the Martha Stewart show while I woofed down some food. I don't usually watch the entire episode, but I like to tune in for about 5 minutes to see what's going on. What I saw Wednesday gave me pause...

Claire Danes was on as a guest. Don't get me wrong, I grew up when Claire Danes was the hottest actress in starlet town (Romeo & Juliet comes to mind...). But she was promoting her latest project - portraying Temple Grandin on an HBO special that aired Feb. 6. If you don't know, Temple revolutionized the harvest animal industry (packing plants and feedlots) in the U.S. Martha spoke highly of her. And I thought to myself - right on, Martha. The coolest thing about this is, I've actually interviewed Temple Grandin while I worked for BEEF magazine. Read that article, here.

And just for a moment I thought, Martha and I, we've got something in common. And that was cool.
