Gun-toting teen ruins my afternoon
So, weeks ago, I got tickets to this afternoon’s taping of the Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, which is my new favorite talk show, by a country mile, thanks to the wonders of TiVo.
Weeeeeell, so much for that idea: I got a call about a gun found in a local high school. The inestimable Gretchen Losi at the Daily Press won’t be back in until tomorrow, so this one falls on my shoulders.
Eh, I didn’t really need to see Shannen Doherty anyway. Amy Smart on Wednesday would have been awesome, though.
Damned selfish accused criminals …
Seriously though, this was an easy decision to make, and my inconvenience is nothing compared to the importance of this news, but it was ironic that one of the few scenarios that would have kept me in the office this afternoon (the taping begins at 3 in Hollywood) happened.

You reporters with your sensationalist headlines! I figured this was about how you got jumped by some young punk and had to use your martial arts skills to kick the gun out of his hand. What a letdown…
