Sept. 17, 2008 — -- The wake-up call came at 2:45 a.m. That's how dedicated we are to you, America.

We had to wake up so early because before we could board the train today, a Secret Service dog had to go through our bags. So we stood in the cold at 3:00 a.m. and watched the furry little guy go sniffing through everything and then we were allowed to board.

Today I spent the pre-show period down in the "Good Morning America" offices where the writers, producers and higher-ups get everything in order so that the two-hour-long show runs smoothly, at least on the editorial side. After witnessing the rehearsal yesterday, I know that there's a lot to coordinate and a great show to produce.
