ABC's Nightline comes to visit my farm
Recently, I was approached by Nightline, the ABC news show. They were interested in putting together a program about my life. Remember last week's blog from the book signing in Philadelphia when I mentioned that Nightline was also there? Well, to continue with that theme, yesterday, Cynthia McFadden, one of he co-anchors of the show, arrived at my home in Bedford bright and early with a producer and a film crew. Cynthia interviewed me and tagged along during my morning routine. Then, it was off to New York City, to visit my offices and to document what my day is like in my business world. Be sure to watch Nightline on November 19th!

- On the way, we ducked into the blog studio, where I showed Cynthia some photos from my modeling days many years ago. Ken Fuhr followed with his camera.

- I started my day with my morning workout in my gym with trainer, Mary Tedesco. Cynthia McFadden joined me for the session.

- After our workout, we continued our discussion over a healthy breakfast – scrambled farm-fresh eggs, homemade granola, fruit salad, and Greek yogurt – of course, cappuccino.
-
- Cynthia spoke for a while to my long-time housekeeper, Laura Acuna.

- As we drove down to the stable, we said ‘good morning’ to Billy, Clive, and Rufus.
