Here's one more "Top Ten List" I thought was worth sharing. -- Teresa The Top 10 Worst Things About Your Leaving WYWO: 10. With a Strasser-less WYWO and "24" and "The Simpson's" on summer break, I'm now forced to turn to lumberjack competitions, Michael Jackson exposes and Anna Nicole Smith for TV entertainment. Damn you. 9. Aggregate intelligence and charm quotients of home improvement show hosts declines 20% in a single day. 8. America will never again get to see that cute little butt-bumping dance you do with Leslie. 7. Fewer Keroauc-esque, "on the road" disaster stories for you to amuse us with on your website. 6. Teresaphiles everywhere must now get a life and return to our nerddom. Literally thousands of us are putting down our remotes and trying to fit into our old Mr. Spock uniforms. 5. New host might be a competent handyman-type with no sense of humor and who knows how to properly solder copper tubing, thus making viewers feel like inferior morons. 4. You won't get paid to play with power tools now. 3. Without a female babe presence, my friends will think I'm "funny" for watching an interior decorating show featuring a good-looking male carpenter. 2. No more opportunities to see what homeowners have hidden in their rooms!

That would make for great TV. 1. And most importantly. It turns out my previous suck-up letters to you in the hopes of getting my dining room made over into an Arthurian-themed feast area were utterly for naught. I thought you were my "in". Seriously though, good luck in your future endeavours and thanks for daring to be smart in the era of dumbed-down, T & A entertainment. TV needs lots more people like you. Ah well, there's always cloning....
