Whenever I end a conversation – no matter with whom it is, from a woman I met at a party to the person bagging my groceries at Whole Foods – I always say to them, “See you soon.”

What’s your name again?

There’s a law that might be passed allowing people to use their cell phones on airplanes.

Can you imagine if they actually pass that law? Then, for your entire flight, you’d have to sit next to a broadcaster.

Over the river and through Whole Foods to anyone’s house we go … So on this Thanksgiving Day, I wanted to share with all of you my take on the day — as well as a little personal message from me. Did you sing that song as a kid — you know, the “Over The [...]
