In high school, I played in a Rush cover band.

I don't read a lot of magazines, but when I'm traveling, I'll pick up a copy of 'Vanity Fair' to read on the plane - it's like a full meal! The articles are so good, especially the crime stories. Browsing the Web is more like snacking - but I live on snacks.

Because I see my own boys growing, and I see other children growing and I just have such a connection.

I'm horrible at remembering names, embarrassingly bad.

I listen to KCRW in the car and Pandora radio, which I stream through the stereo from my iPhone. I've been listening to everything from Caribou to Conway Twitty. If I'm going on a longer car ride, I'll download some podcasts.

I guess everybody's different, but I know that everybody's natural instinct is to remember the bad stuff more than the good stuff.

I used to work as a proofreader at Merrill Lynch.
