- Bio
- I share a birthday with Dr. Seuss. I am exactly one week older than Barbie, and much more sensibly shaped. My “spiritual home” is a family camp on a lake. It’s musty and dusty and ramshackle; every summer when we move in, we have to clean mouse poop out of all the cupboards. I have spent every single summer of my life there, starting when I was three months old. I am so lucky. I married my second husband one day shy of eight weeks from our first date. We have four kids—one his, two mine, one ours. We'll be empty-nesters next year, a prospect that alternately excites and terrifies me. It took me 31 years to earn a BA. I cook from scratch. I have had the same best friend since the second day of second grade. I love Kris Kristofferson, Stephen Colbert, and Jason Varitek. I miss Paul Newman, Johnny Cash, and my mom. I'm a little embarrassed that I find our new president kind of sexy.
