What Beautiful Bird Is This?


Many of you may not know who she is. But she greets me every morning when I roll over in my bed. She is a gorgeous woman. Always has a beautiful smile and happy disposition. And she's funny. If you heard her laugh just once, you'd be surprised at how much she can stir a smile so early in the day. Her voice is raspy enough to cause you to notice her. Yet feminine enough to realize that she is all woman. Every day she tells me, "Good Morning, Sunshine!" And it's hard to say, but she seems to be one of the most down-to-earth personalities that I've never really met.

Yes, I don't know her personally. She is a news anchor of Headline News' Morning Express with Robin Meade. But she is smokin' hot, and she is the woman of my dreams.

I used to catch her on my morning flights from NY to LA. Every week I'd be on the plane and tune in to HLN just to hear her voice. It brought me comfort and consistency during my busy travels. It was what I needed and frankly, seeing her news casts really helped me to find some normalcy during the year and a half that I traveled so much. Kinda sad, no? But you'd be surprised at how many people travel for a living every day. And to top that, how many people really listen and like her morning program! CNN Headline News is almost always on at every airport across this country. Her voice and face is probably most recognizable by business travelers--a bigger audience then you think. You see how I'm giving props to my lady?

She's the daughter of a Pastor (that's a plus+) from Ohio and a former beauty queen, and you just have to catch one of her shows. Okay, it's early in the morning (she wakes me up at 6 promptly, EST.), and I don't think she's even on in Hawaii, but if you can see her working on her job, you'd probably feel the same way too.

I met a guy once who crossed paths with her. He was a musician who she approached to possibly hire for a gig she was planning. I'm not sure if he ever got the job, but hearing her name in a personal conversation was pretty thrilling. I remember asking him to give me details. Come to think about it, I sort of asked him quite stalkericiously. Scary, no? But hearing him tell me the brief conversation he had with her...hearing about her easy smile and genuine laugh. Ah, this woman is unbelievable.

But she's married. Happily so, it seems. But I'm not mad at all. The dude is lucky. I download her podcasts every week and watch the 'behind-the-scenes' stuff. I'm telling you, people, she is a laugh riot and seemingly a very cool chick.

So I'm posting this blog to pay tribute to Robin Meade. If she's not the kind of fantastic person
that I think she is and whom she portrays to be, I would be surprised and dishearened to find out. And she deserves an Emmy. BUT, if she is exactly the way I think she is, I'm glad I 'met' her on my Delta flights, and hope to meet her one day. If only to tell me 'morning sunshine' in person.

And just to clarify before I end this blog, no, I'm not a stalker. But a big fan. And I have been Robin-ized!
