I hope you've enjoyed your summer. Here in the northeast it's been nice but rainy, and probably the most frequent comment I've made to my husband all season is, "Are we going to be able to eat outdoors tonight?" You see, before he became a news anchor, Brad worked as [...]
I hope you're enjoying your summer even if the weather's been as crazy where you are as it's been in the northeast. The season started off really cool and rainy, and then wow, we had some insanely hot weather early in July. But at least it finally feels like summer. [...]
I've still been on the road a lot lately, and though there've been some mishaps (like a Delta flight that was over five hours late and nearly resulted in me being late for the speech I was giving), it's been a truly rewarding experience overall. On May 2, I spoke [...]

I hope you're having a great fall as we head toward the holidays. To be honest, I was kind of sorry to see October end. I was thinking, as the month drew to a close, that October always seems to deliver more than a hundred percent. You know what I mean? The [...]
In The Great Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan's friend Jordan Baker announces at one point during a conversation that, "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."
