Odds and Ends

You may recall that Alisyn Camarota and John Berman, while leading New Day at 7:00 a.m. EST on CNN matched what they were wearing—she with her outfit and he with his tie. She texted him at 5 a.m. in the morning to let him know what she would be wearing.

John Berman and his new partner Brianna Keilar do not try to match. However, there is one new element in their appearances. Brianna Keilar appears to wear a different pair of earrings each day.


A cat passed away after a long life of being a perfect pet and went to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, God asked the cat, “If you could have anything in the world to make you happy, what would it be?”

The cat thought about it for a moment and replied, “Well, I lived on a farm for my whole life and had to sleep on hard and cold wooden floors. So, I would love a warm fluffy pillow to sleep on.”

God said, “Of course you can have that.” In an instant, a huge fluffy pillow appeared for the cat. She loved it because it was the softest and warmest thing she had ever felt in her life.

That same day, 12 mice appeared at the Pearly Gates after being involved in a terrible accident that took their lives. God asked them the same question, and they discussed it amongst themselves for a second.

The mice told God, “Well we were chased by dogs, cats, and even humans with brooms our whole lives. We would love to have some little roller skates so we would not have to run everywhere.”

A few days went by, and God decided to check on the new animal additions to Heaven starting with the cat. He found her lounging on her pillow and asked, “Hey Cat, how have things been so far?”

The cat responded, “Well, I have had the best sleep of my life on this pillow, and those little meals-on-wheels you send me every day are absolutely delicious.”
