Brad and Bo helped me wake up this morning on their WHYN-AM morning show. I often think about these guys if for some reason I am awake at 5 am, that they are heading into work. Wow! That takes a special kind of discipline! I did a segment at 8 […]

I read Saturday’s WSJ and quickly found a topic to write about: strangely compelling fish feeding in Pennsylvania. It seems that throwing bread to a swirling, aggressive bunch of carp is becoming a big tourist draw in Linesville, PA. It’s the Pymatuning State Park, and the state is pouring money […]

Our last night in Copenhagen was our best. That’s because we met such interesting people and learned all about their lives at an intimate dinner party held in a spacious art-filled apartment in the city. Jacob Termansen and Pia Marie Molbech are a glamorous and successful couple who photograph top […]
