Important \u201cCBS This Morning\u201d News Flash Update <\/h3>\n

Helen Hayes\/Great Island Feature Re-scheduled.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Helen Hays\/Great Gull island feature that was slated to air this morning has–as per the e-mail below from CBS producer Alberto Moya–been tentatively re-scheduled to air tomorrow morning between 8:00 and 9am nationally on the \u201cCBS This Morning\u201d show. I do hope that it airs tomorrow; it will surely be worth waiting for. If it does not my understanding is that it will air this week. <\/p>\n

E-mail from Alberto Moya:<\/h2>\n

Art – I apologize for the late heads up but my bosses have held up our profile of Helen and Gull Island. We’re going to try again for Wednesday’s broadcast. Sorry for the back and forth but that’s the way news works. Will keep u posted again tomorrow. A. <\/p>\n

The Streak Continues: 276<\/h3>\n

This blog was published just before 6:45am from my home in Indian Lake Estates, FL after another great night’s sleep. I will be here for the better part of the next ten weeks with no plane flights on the horizon until I fly to ABQ for a long stretch at Bosque. Then home for four days before heading to the Southern Ocean for a month on another great Cheeseman’s Expedition. Click here<\/a> for info on this great trip and learn about joining the BAA group. This post, which took me more than 5 hours to prepare, makes 276 in a row. <\/p>\n
