I'm in New York for a Radio-Television News Directors Foundation workshop at the United Nations. We've had a very busy schedule.

We started our day with a breakfast meeting with new UN Ambassador John Bolton. He spoke on the record a bit...took a few questions that were basically off the record...and then left. He didn't really say a whole lot that made news for us...but, it was nice of him to show up to visit with us.

Here I am right outside the United Nations Building. It wasn't hard to find...it's right across the street from my hotel. I guess I should have straightened my name tag, huh?






It was pretty cool to get to go inside the UN Security Council chamber. Here I am standing at the U.S. position at the Security Council table. Not too many people get to go in there.


Tonight, we attended a reception for Ambassador Bolton hosted by the UN Foundation. I didn't have my camera at the reception...but, one of my colleagues here, Tran Bui of ABC24 in Memphis, took a couple of photos of me chatting with Bolton. Then, Secretary-General Kofi Annan showed up, and Tran took a picture of me talking with Annan, too. Tran's going to email me the pics next week..I'll post them when I get them!

Tomorrow...Kofi Annan joins us for a brief, but on the record, chat.
