10 Random Newsy and Non-Newsy Things About Me.

June 3, 2010
1) Sunrise—my favorite time of day. But my favorite shift to work (and I’ve worked them all) is the nightshift--which starts at 2pm.

2) 1 year. How long I worked the graveyard shift--starting at 11pm and finishing at 8am. I was a writer/production assistant. It was one of my first jobs in TV news—15 years ago.

3) 6 years. How long I spent working the morning shift or some form of it—starting at 2:30am and ending by noon.

4) Mexico. My favorite country to visit.

5) 17. How many countries I’ve been fortunate to visit.

6) 7. The age I got a concussion after my dog ran me over on the sidewalk.

7) Medias de seda. One of my favorite cocktails. It translates into "Silk Stalkings" and is a popular drink from Mexico City.

8) Oriana Fallaci/ Christiana Amanpour-- women journalists I admire.

9) "Harvest of Hope"--documenting a day in life of a migrant worker; "30th Anniversary of the Fall of Saigon"- stories/series I worked on and will always remember.

10) Uganda- where I’d like to go next in the world…after Norway. ;)
