Couric and Co. is back from the Winter break. Regular editor Greg Kandra is out this week so I will try to hold this ship steady until his return. We have a lot of ground to cover this week from the fallout of the Saddam Hussein execution to the Gerald Ford funeral to a new Congress taking over in the Capitol. We'll have a full round of posts today including an entry from correspondent Randall Pinkston in Baghdad so keep an eye out for updates.

Katie's in Washington today anchoring special reports on the funeral and tonight's CBS Evening News but she will be posting her daily notebook entry. Thanks for checking us out and Happy New Year!
