As I've mentioned here before, my son wears an insulin pump. It's an Animas 2020, although that probably doesn't mean much to anyone. We love his pump and we're so glad that his doctors were willing to let us start when Benny was only two and a half. Much better than the 6 shots or more a…
This morning on our show, we played some clips from election days past. When I heard Jimmy Carter's concession from 1980, I immediately flashed back to voting with my dad. Rather, going with my dad while he voted. I had just turned nine. We walked into the polling place – I think it was Yorktown's town…
Do you go to your high school reunions? I haven’t been to one yet. I’m not boycotting, just never seem to hear about when they’re happening. Plus, I live pretty far from my hometown, Yorktown Heights, NY. But I’ve been thinking about it more these days. I recently heard from a woman I’d graduated with. …
All of the profits from my new book, I Can’t Cook, But I know Someone Who Can, will benefit Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Charlotte. It’s a small way you can help a great cause. My little boy has type 1 diabetes and every once in a while we get a reminder of exactly why…
I feel like I’m in a very strange place right now. My book is coming out next Saturday, September 13th. Of course, I’m beyond excited and definitely nervous but it’s a strange pause as I wait for the release date. It’s been an amazing year – I only had the idea for this book in…
I am spoiled forever. We went to the Panthers game Saturday night. It was the first pre-season game, but we didn’t have tickets. We usually go to one or two games during the year, but this one wasn’t on our schedule. That is, it wasn’t until Friday afternoon. We had plans with our friends Jeff…
Just back from a week with my parents in New York. We had a great time and got into the city a couple of times with the kids. But it was hard to top the very first day. I met Donald Trump! For the past year, we’ve all heard about how the Trumps were looking…
It’s been almost a year since we started using an insulin pump to treat my son Benny’s diabetes. It was July 4th weekend last year that we stopped giving him shots and began pumping insulin. The pump has its own unique challenges but it’s a huge improvement over needles. As we reach that milestone, I…
Our goal was to take some pictures and show you some of our round of golf last week. We had a great time, but we didn’t do such a good job of documenting it. You can click here to see me miss a putt (thanks, Bill, for taking and posting that particular moment). We’re in…
Al, Jim & I are set to play golf later today with our program director Bill. The three of us haven’t played together in at least a year, and I don’t think I’ve every played with Bill. Should be fun. Could be a disaster. I’ll let you know if anybody throws any clubs. These guys…
