I was just wondering about this the other day... “Spend time outside when you can, and hang out with animals. ‘Dogs are a great way to get microbial exposure.’”

This took place in SoCal over every Memorial Day weekend /week of my life for about 15 years — & I loved it! One of my fav memories was our group movie night: We’d pile into cars and vans to go see the latest blockbuster. Proud to have been a part of the D Fam from the start.

Fun fact: We also briefly met Stephen Hawking on this trip when we visited the Perimeter Institute Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ont.

A crazy The Olympic Games story, perfectly written by Jason Gay. “She was so un­threat­en­ing, Kiesen­hofer as­sumed the big guns in the race would let her ride away at the be­gin­ning for a bit. … They did. Then Kiesen­hofer stayed away, for the whole in­cred­i­ble thing, 85 miles…”

Super powerful thread (yes, read all of it) for anyone who knows grief and loss.

Such a great listen. I love that you told the Bill Gates Taco Bell story. My fav part of that story has always been him telling Melinda he’d solve the “we never went to dinner” problem w/a TB drive-through. You’d never care but I can picture MG just smacking her forehead. 😂

Fun memory from WWDC 2010 at Moscone when Steve showed us the iPhone 4. Remember the headset jack?

It’s hard to believe 20 years have passed since my first The Wall Street Journal day. I still remember my nervous energy, the thrill of walking through the newsroom and the pride I felt when I saw my name in the paper. I wouldn’t change a minute of it, especially having Walt as a mentor & friend.

“When Steve came back, he didn’t just put key engineers in place,” Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of marketing, said. “He put the right people in place to lead us around the company, and Katie was a big part of that.” Greg Joswiak

Was not planning to sing on air today. But how do you interview the Indigo Girls & NOT break into song??
