Barbara continues:

My next phone call from the Sussex press room came at 6:19 a.m. I was at the plant by 6:40 a.m. This job isn't for those who are vain about their appearance. I put on the clothes that I had worn yesterday, gargled with some mouth wash and left. It's two below zero outside. Again, I'm happy to have my Hammock puffy coat.

The form on press was a 4pp form on press M25. The color looked good, and I signed off on the form and was back at the hotel in less than an hour. While at the plant, I conferred with the outgoing and incoming press supervisors about the cover form which should run around 11 a.m. Back at the hotel, I emailed in my blog from last night. (Okay, I'm not an official blogger. Blair is posting these accounts for me.) I checked my email for hot things to do, then wrote this entry.

One thing I like about press checks is that I get a break from the normal Five O'clock World that I normally live.
