I have a contract but it's not a commitment in the ordinary sense. It's our ongoing conversation.
My husband has said even he doesn't know my politics. In the nonromantic-compliment category, that's a good one.
I'm not sure people are ever completely comfortable telling pollsters what they do and don't think.
I keep trying to perfect my mother's meatloaf recipe. I will never get it perfect, but I'm getting closer.
Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want it too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it.
What did you have to teach him about prosecuting a case?
I've always wanted to throw a party where everyone comes with their mother's meatloaf. Everybody could evoke their mother's memory through her meatloaf.

My involvement with them (TDA) is to give them ideas. But not necessarily who will be on the board.
