My sophomore year I spent exactly one day on the JV football team. It was the tryout day.

Look, not embracing the 'Today' show is soooo yesterday.

I love the excess of Christmas. The shopping season that begins in September, the bad pop star recordings of Christmas carols, the decorations that don't know when to come down.

If I had a time machine I would go back 30 years and show up at my grandmother's apartment before the gargantuan meals she would serve and I would help her.

I'm always working on a few different stories at once, so there's always some really big coffee table book I'm carrying around.

One Christmas my father kept our tree up till March. He hated to see it go. I loved that.

I was not a jock in high school. I know, you're shocked.
