Remember this name: Sibila Vargas. Monday, October 11, marks Sibila's debut as my co-anchor on CBS2 News, 4:30-7 a.m., and CBS2 News at 11 a.m. And --look-- I'll be honest here: you can read all about her genuinely impressive credentials here; but wouldn't it be more fun  to know the following, which your humble correspondent dragged out of her, as she was trying to set up the computer in her cubicle?....

She actually has the theme song to Rocky on her iPod.  Her favorite food appears to be sushi. Her family's nickname for her is "Cookie."  Her favorite TV show --and here she wavered-- is Big Brother... No, wait!  it's Survivor. No!  It's Big Brother. She settled on Survivor.  Her first car was a black VW Jetta. (Good choice. -Ed.) And she has karaoked Poker Face, by Lady Gaga.

Can I tell you how much I am looking forward to working with Sibila? I have been a fan of hers for longer than I'm willing to tell her. She knows Southern California, and you will like knowing her. Watch: you'll see.
