I always start my day with a red-eye misto - two shots, extra hot, extra foam - from Starbucks.

I have mugs of hot water every morning because the studio is cold, and also because it makes my throat sound clearer.

I am up at 3:30, reading the op-ed pages and getting ready to be on the air by 6 A.M. on the set of 'Morning Joe,' and after three hours of TV and two hours on the radio, it is only 12 noon.

My family was always active, and our thing was family walks. Not walks around the block, but more like eight-mile hikes up mountains.

I suffered from a mild case of postpartum depression after my second child and the physical challenge of maintaining an overnight shift at CBS, a marriage, and two in diapers made the symptoms worse and everyone in the house paid the price.

I knew that (Beal) was going to get hot and start to hit their shots. They are way too good of a shooting team to have not had a run. I was just glad our kids were able to respond.
