...back a lot on my travel, by reducing the number of operas I sing. Now I do more recitals. My daughters are happy. I take my cue from them. They know that they are my highest priority. I was reading recently there is this huge wave of women with spectacular educations who are leaving the work force to look after their children. When I was growing up, we thought we had it best because we could have it all: family and career. It is always fragile, being a parent. What aria do you most like singing? The Song...
Here's a tip: If you're in a jam, find the nearest Heath Ledger fan. They are among the most charitable people in the world--forgiving, long suffering and loyal. How can you tell?

...Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, early next year. The Maryland teen, who started ballet at age 4 and danced in The Nutcracker before following her hockey-loving brothers onto the ice, leaped to a third-place finish at the U.S. national championships last year by landing a spectacular--and clean--triple Axel, the most difficult jump for women to execute. That made her only the third woman in the world (after Japan's Midori Ito and the U.S.'s infamous Tonya Harding) to land the jump.
