| Introduction | I'm married to my special lady friend and I have three daughters, 13, 11 and 7. Becky is a beauty who refuses to the play the part of the beauty queen. I think it's 'cause she's completely grounded, but mostly it's because her beauty isn't flash and fad, it's classic and eternal -- you know, in a Grace Kelly-Ingrid Bergman sort of way. My girls are crazy. And hilarious. And crazy. I grew up in Colorado, moved to Utah when I was a junior in high school and served a mission in Mexico. Yes, that means I'm Mormon. I got into journalism because I like writing and I like seeing my name in print. But, because I'm not writing for the New York Times or something, the pay stinks. |
