Actual POSITIVE news


I'm always a sucker for an uplifting news segment. In a time where we can't escape some mention of Anna Nicole hearings/hoopla or Britney's ridiculous head shaving shenanigans, it's nice to hear a story that is actually heart-warming.

I enjoy the Today Show now because that awful nasty beeyatch Katie Couric has been replaced with Meredith what's her face. Such a relief. Anyway, this morning they covered a story about Toby Dawson the U.S. Olympian skier that was reunited with his birth father after more than 20 years! His parents lost him in a Korean market at age 3 and he was placed in an orphanage. He was eventually adopted by two American skiers and went on to win the bronze medal in freestyle skiing at the Turin Olympics and his real biological Dad was able to find him.

Just so touching. I love stories like this.
