And not just Friends! I actually liked Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip! At my Catholic HS run by nuns, in a class on being a good Christian wife/mother, I only remember them showing us Fools Rush In as an example of how to not do the six stages of a relationship.

Serving as an intern at Dianne Feinstein’s LA office for three summers in the early 2000s had an incredible impact on me. While we only got to see her once in a while, she inspired remarkable people and assembled a wonderful team—I learned a great deal from them.
