Coming to you from Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona, where Cal and I are exercising and eating healthy. This is my 15th visit to a CR location. I’ve been coming since March of 1996 when I had a 15-year-old, a 9-year-old, a 7-year-old, and a 3-year-old. It is...

Last night Cal and I watched 21 Grams (2003)–which shows the lives of 3 characters before, during, and after an accident that brings them together. Directed by Iñárritu, nonlinear, and stunning. Tonight it’s the other end of the spectrum. We’re...
