‘til death do us part.
Celebrating a little something tonight. Picked up this Rosé on my recent girls’ trip to Greece. Saved for a special occasion. And well, special occasion is now.
Be back later.

Found this while reflecting on childhood summer days—a photograph of me at summer camp (my sister Cheri behind me) in the Texas Hill Country, near the Guadalupe River. Circa 1984.
Back then, it was all sunburns, lazy floats in the river. A kind of freedom I didn’t yet know was rare.

Space teaches you awe. Distance teaches you gratitude. And love? Love reminds you how sweet Earth really is — when you have each other, no matter the distance.

the quiet strength it takes to say goodbye again and again in the name of exploration, science, and something greater than ourselves.

One of our many goodbyes, separated by glass — a symbol of what was to become: 500 days apart, separated by an entire atmosphere. That one time when ‘see you later’ carried the weight of everything unsaid. We knew it would change us.

It was a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor friend. It was a working meeting, sort of. But with a neighbor, sort of.
Anyway, it was a work meeting despite how it looks. We got a lot done. You’ll see.

Earth Day is every day, anywhere on Earth. Recently spent a day in it here—among the Himalayan cedars and quiet trails of Mashobra, Shimla. We’ve got work to do to protect this planet we call home. And that work starts now, wherever on the planet you are.

Last night’s sunset here in northern India nestled in the Himalayas, brought a quiet moment of reflection. Wishing family, friends, and all who celebrated a peaceful and meaningful Passover.
Chag sameach—with love and light from Shimla.

On a special tour of the White House last year, I stood in front of President Obama’s portrait, and it reminded me of the time I met him after my husband returned to Earth from nearly a year in space.

Travel expands empathy. It reminds you that power fades, love endures, and a little perspective goes a long way.
History here is breathtaking, brutal, and deeply human.
Back home feels heavy. But here, I’m reminded: curiosity, compassion, and connection still matter.
Maybe more than ever.

Yesterday, in our 60th country traveled together, we stood where love and loss carved their names into history.
At the Taj Mahal—a monument to devotion.
At Agra Fort—where the emperor who built it spent his final days imprisoned by his son, forced to admire his masterpiece from afar.

GenX enters the chat.
He, him, and his are pronouns.
And it is amazing what they do.
They stand in for Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla,
And his sister, Rafaella, too.
Even Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla understood pronouns weren’t dangerous—they saved him from repeating Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla.

He threw her in the ocean.
Then saved her from drowning.
But did he?
Or is it just an optical illusion?
Market manipulation is…
oh, nevermind.

Last night in NYC, I had the honor of watching @stationcdrkelly.bsky.social recognized at the Heroes of Democracy event for his unwavering support of Ukraine. Since the invasion began, he’s made three trips and helped raise nearly $4 million—standing with those fighting for their freedom.

Gorgeous day for grilling, time with friends, and finally—after 67 days of silence—Boebert decided to acknowledge CO-4 with a telephone town hall.
After countless calls and emails from the district, she’s at least showing up… behind a phone, of course.
But hey, it’s the little things.

He also gave a powerful firsthand account of his recent trip to Ukraine, reminding us what’s at stake when democracy is threatened.
There were tears, laughter, and most of all, a shared energy to get to work. This is how we win—together.
