We Were On Fox 31 "Good Day Colorado"

This morning Aviva and I were interviewed on "Good Day Colorado". Prior to the interview, we were shown in to the Green Room where we met the head of the Denver FBI and his assistant. The FBI guy recognized the name of the intelligence agency where my husband works and when I said "Well, at least you've heard of the place, no one else has." He had a good laugh. The next person to enter the Green Room was a comedian, Jake Johannsen who was appearing at ComedyWorks in Denver. He's been on David Letterman something like 31 times in addition to having two HBO specials, a Comedy Central special and appearing on Leno. Aviva and I had a great conversation with him about his own daughter and what it is like to be a parent and travel on the road. Certainly something Aviva and I can now relate to as we are looking ahead to a busy year with seminars and speaking engagements.

I know this may sound a bit strange, but from now on I plan to ask what color chair I will be seated in prior to arriving at a TV interview. Maybe you are wondering why I need to know such seemingly trivial information? Well, for this interview, I was seated in a black chair, and I was wearing a black sweater and skirt. One could not tell where I ended and the chair began. While I don't mind blending, this was a bit much. Oops!

During the 10 minute segment, Aviva and I discussed ways parents can diffuse some of the guilt that occurs surrounding the end of the day and trying to get some kind of meal on the table when the kids are hanging all over your legs or you are wiped out from work. Crank up those tunes in the kitchen and dance, break out the veggies and dip for a kiddy Cocktail Hour. We order appetizers in a restaurant, why not let the family munch a bit while getting dinner ready? Everyone will calm down a bit, be less cranky and dinner will make a smoother transition to the table!
