Happy Penguin New Year

Posted at 12:34 PM on December 31, 2010 by Bob Collins (1 Comments)

It's another one of those infernal company holidays at the World Headquarters of News Cut. As usual, if news rears its ugly head, so will I (I'll be tweeting up a storm through the weekend as usual).

In the meantime, Happy New Year. It's a good time to get in touch with your inner penguin.

Death of a doc

A few months ago on a segment of 5x8, I passed along this story of Dr. David Nichols, a doctor who "adopted" an island in the Chesapeake Bay and brought health care to those who needed it. Even after he retired, he continued to fly to the island. He said it was "a moral obligation."

Word comes today that Dr. Nichols died yesterday.

NBC's Nightly News did this segment on Dr. Nichols a few months ago. Here's a Kleenex.
