I was on Amtrak a few months ago when a 60-something man in a track suit got on board. After a few minutes I recognized it was Michael Spinks. Crazy. I went over and told him how many of his fights I’d watched coming up. Last night I was on Amtrak and none other than Carl Lewis sat down across from me. Apparently, I’m channeling legendary athletes of the 1980s?

About to hit 10,000 steps for the day… almost entirely from walking around the concourse at DTW trying to kill time during 4 hours of flight delays.
Raise your hand if you do NOT have any classified documents in your basement.
Always happy to talk with the great Margaret Sullivan. Here we are discussing the state of Journalism on Audie Cornish’s new podcast “The Assignment.”
