Everyone diagnosed with cancer gets to decide if or how to share the news. I empathize with the decision to prepare and help kids understand. I wish her and her family the best.

In my 22 years as a reporter, I don't recall the @NationalMallNPS ever including the name of the person in the White House in a news release.

It was a haunting photo -- a Black middle school student, by himself on the day in 1962 he desegregated an all-white school in Fredericksburg. Now, 60 years later, researchers finally know who the student is, and hear his story. It's a story you're hearing first @wtop .

Always feel 5 years younger after a haircut. Nice payoff after lifting my chin to reduce neck folds, and stylist saying ‘take your time’ as I walk back to chair after getting hair washed <sigh>

Living the good life, with stage 4 lung cancer. Now that one-pill-a-day targeted therapy and lobectomy have me cancer-free, CT scan every 3 months is the aggressive monitoring to stay on top of things.

I’ve only been in DC since 1979 — this is my first time at @The_Tombs in Georgetown.

The Secret Service, asked directly if it used tear gas at Lafayette Park, declined to say, one way or the other. I'm continuing to try to rule in or rule out. Will keep in touch.
