For the last 21 days, I’ve worked 8+ hour shifts at https://t.co/JB0AsbBKL7, editing 142 stories in addition to my regular work, writing 19 stories for 6 outlets.

A week in, I got a @nyrr #NB5thAveMile #MediaMile spot, but wasn’t in running mode. Here’s the journey…

Five years ago, I cried along with former Appleton mayor Derm Flynn and current Gander mayor Percy Farwell, as they recounted the events of 9/11 in their small Canadian towns... https://t.co/TD6pMiba5f

We've reached that beautiful day in NYC when strangers will bond over debating all the possible outcomes of the US Open semis. So far, I've heard votes for Coco Gauff, Jess Pegula, and Frances Tiafoe. Who do you hope will lift the trophy this weekend?

It’s been a beat, but my at-home coffee travels have continued…a little slower (#acidreflux 😔). But jumping from my SoCal favorite @urthcaffe to my beloved London Borough Market’s @changeplease, which I first learned about when Duchess Kate Middleton visited.

While the athletes are serving up smashes and aces at the @usopen, the chefs are serving up authentic and unique flavors at the Grand Slam.

I chatted with the masterminds behind some of the most iconic dishes at the 2026 US Open: https://t.co/yMLAZFuOEZ

When I first edited for https://t.co/JB0AsbBKL7 straight out of journalism grad school in 2003, I never imagined I’d still be invited back for this 13th year!

On this exact Saturday 21 years ago, I made these brothers from New Jersey wait around at the US Open while I interviewed other “celebrities.” #JonasBrothers
