"NEXT"

     Next, what does that mean? Next has a new meaning that I doubt Webster or anyone that is part of the dictionary business would consider. Yesterday a local TV stations' weather man stated that the weather was next. Next, after that came the usual series of commercial spots. Next, after the ads came a story about potential changes to the rules for the board game Monopoly. Next, a story that focused on the weather the east and northeast areas of the US have been experiencing (I couldn't care less about the weather in the NE). After three segments came the "NEXT" part of the news, Weather. I haven't looked up the meaning of NEXT, but I don't think it means sometime in the upcoming time frame of a broadcast. Thanks Sterling.
