3 Memorable Superbowl Moments from Someone Who Missed the Whole Thing
You really can get a flavor of the big game without watching television. I loved the Lady Gaga pregame and the "Dunkings" extended advertisement. My jury is still out on the Novartis breast cancer ad.

That terrifying moment when you say a quick prayer, take a deep breath, and hit “send” on the first draft of a new book project. You’d think it would get easier with experience. But I feel as though it’s even more emotionally charged with every new project I write.

Seen and heard along today’s walk. I’m so grateful to live close to UCLA, where every day is filled with sites and sounds that keep my walks interesting and fresh. Where is your favorite spot for walking or running? Bonus points if you know what’s in the box!!

Hey Disney friends. Does anyone hear solo regularly? Also interested in knowing your favorite places to do a bit of work in the middle of the fun. For me, sitting in front of the fireplace at Grand Californian is always a treat.
