I was sitting at the kitchen table in my pajamas when the call came from my publisher in New York: The! Daily! Show! Wants! To! Talk! To! You! About! Your! New! Book!
"Wha? Wha? Wha?" I breathed into the phone. I went all numb and tingly.
"Are you okay?" the press publicist asked me.
"Yeah," I said, eventually composing myself. "Talking to smart funny Jewish guys—this I think I can do."
"Oh no," my husband said, looking stricken. "What if I go into a-fib"—that's atrial fibrillation, a benign heart condition he has—"when we get there? What if I ruin everything?"
Anxiety–it's like the Jewish champagne. Something to celebrate? Pop the cork and let the neuroses bubble up!
Six days later, we are in New York City. I've studied the Daily Show set and bought a new red dress in a classic Diane Von Furstenberg wrap style to match. Husband is with me, and we both keep pinching ourselves to snap out of the unreality of the situation. THE DAILY SHOW! JON STEWART! The MAN!
Thursday morning, we scoot about town on various book-related appointments and errands, and as the clock ticks closer to five o'clock, I feel the nausea beginning to descend. I usually prep quite extensively for any radio or television I do, and I have a pre-interview with a producer that helps me anticipate what the show will be asking, but this time was different. On the phone, the producer told me, "I really have no idea what he is going to ask." In my head, I run through the important notes I'd like to hit and think about ways to avoid the most unproductive avenues of discussion as well. My dear friend Claire reminds me not to put too much pressure on myself. "You're human, dear. Be human!" She's right. And nothing else is sticking. Back in the hotel room, I try to handwrite out a few main points to get my head focused. But the focus does not happen.
Husband David is getting ready too, and I ask him to put some music on. He's always bringing the good stuff to the family equation, especially food, sports, laughter, and music. That's his department. (Nagging, to-do lists, homework, chores, and urgency—that's my department.) He dials his iPhone to some early Dr. Dre and Snoop songs we both love, and that helps me channel my nervous energy into a better place. We bounce our heads to the hip-hop, smiling totally crazy luck we've found ourselves in. THE DAILY SHOW! JON STEWART!
At 5:15 we get into the car and go to the Daily Show studio on the far Westside of Manhattan. As we pull up, we see the lines of people in front for tickets. "Last night they got to see Chris Rock," I joked to my husband. "And tonight it's like—who? Joanna who? Book of Mormon what? Poor suckers!"
We enter the studio at a little side door and head for the green room. (That's what they call the place you sit and get nervous before the show—whatever show it is. Rarely is the room actually green.) The Daily Show has the nicest green room I have ever seen. There is a couch and television and cute vases and a stylish coffee table with a giant bowl of candy on it. There is a schwag bag waiting for me with beauty product samples, gourmet bite-sized cupcakes, and Daily Show gear. And my name is in a frame by the door. I stand in front of the sign and make a goofy face. David takes a picture.
In the room, the press publicist and my editor are waiting with me and David. I work with some truly lovely people at the Free Press, and my editor Leah had made the bad Mormon dessert—the strawberry jello pretzel dessert with the recipe at the back of my book—to celebrate. We settle in, and I start pounding mini Reese's peanut butter cups from the giant candy bowl.
The producer comes in and greets us. I thank her for the chance to be on the show. She says, "Jon really liked your book." Which makes me, of course, stoked. And I tell her that in studying the Daily Show website prepping for the show, I notice that he regularly has on women authors from underrepresented backgrounds to talk about their serious books, and how I saw that pattern, and I knew it reflected a conscious effort, and how much that means to me. The producer tells me they do really try to get women guests—it's a priority for them. And that it can be hard to find women who write non-fiction on the kinds of subjects they cover, but they try. So, take heart, brainy women—there is a place in popular culture for us. And it is the awesomest place–The Daily Show.
The producer turns on the television and excuses herself. The clock says 6 o'clock. The opening graphics for the show roll, and we think for a moment we might not get to meet Jon Stewart. That on this night, of all nights, he is too busy to come back and see us. Alas! But then, from the end of the hallway, I hear that unmistakeable voice singing a boisterous "HAVA NAGILA HAVA NAGILA HAVA . . ." and clapping along.
Oh. My. Heart.
He is short—but not as short as you may have heard. He's about 5'7" or 5'8". About the same height as my husband. Which I've always thought to be the perfect height, but I'm biased. And 5'3".
He is also very intense, but in a powerfully good, generous, funny, and deeply intelligent way. He was in the green room exactly the mensch you see on your television screen.
He gives us a huge hello, shakes hands with everyone—me last.
"I bring greetings from the Mormon feminists of America," I said, "who adore you, and they send these pioneer bonnets as a token of their adoration!"
And I handed him the bonnets made by feministmormonhouswives.org founder Lisa in festive star of David and Hannukah fabrics–with ironed on Feminist Mormon Housewives labels–and he chuckled and smiled and examined them with appreciation. And then I handed him the bonnet made in a fetching blue wool by Reese Dixon. "This one," I said, "My friend Tresa made to match your handsome suit."
He was delighted.
And then he spied the bad Mormon dessert on the table.
"What is this?"
"It's a bad Mormon dessert," my editor explained. "Strawberry jello pretzel pie."
"I want to taste that!"
I started fishing around to set him up with a spoon and a plate and he took a big bite of the Jello-Cool-Whip concoction and says, "That's not bad at all! I like that!"
Someone jokes about the Jello-Cool-Whip Mormon thing, and David vocalized his usual complaints about the yucky goyishness of the food, to which Mr. Stewart replied, "And you think kasha varnishkas are any better?"
I, for the record, really like kasha varnishkas.
And I like Jon Stewart.
He recommends a Romanian restaurant in town where there is real live schmaltz on the tables. He and my husband pose with the pie. He and I pose with the bonnets. There are photographs.
Then he starts monologuing to us about religion: "You know, it gets inside you like a resin, and it never comes out. It always makes you feel different. More responsible. When I was a kid, my neighbors were all Italians and at Passover I'd go to school with my hardboiled egg and my matzah in a bag and Johnny so-and-so would be eating pizza and he's ask, 'Why you eating crackers for lunch?' and I'd say," he put on a forlorn and quizzical voice, "'my ancestors were slaves?' And years later I'm sitting in college getting ready to light a bong and feeling so guilty inside and why? I'd say to myself," he reassumed that forlorn and quizzical voice, "'my ancestors were slaves?'"
Genius. There were some more friendly words about how much he liked the book, and some talk about 1980s Mormon end-times tuff, and then BAM he was off to start the show.
We watched the first segment from the green room—oh heavens—he really took it to Mitt Romney. Jon Stewart was on tonight! Amazing timing. Amazing energy. He was just ripping giant holes in the ridiculousness of the 2012 campaign, especially the bickering of the last few weeks. But I was in a panic, seeing that intense energy. What if I had to come in and pick up the pieces for poor Mitt? I left the green room and started pacing the hall, trying to do yoga breathing, trying to find my stillness, and praying my "please-give-me-the-right-words-to-say-and-let-me-not-screw-up-too-bad" prayer. I like to think of myself as a normally sort of calm person, but I gotta say, I was in a bit of a spell. David came out to check on me and make sure I was okay. "I can't watch right now," I told him.
The second segment was a wild little story about "Redneck Olympics" in Maine, that included a bawdy detail or two. Note to self—David and I thought—call his parents back at home and tell them not to let the girls watch segment two!
Then, it was my turn. The producer materialized at the door, smiling. The make-up lady put one more dash of powder on my face and we started down the long and winding hallways through the Daily Show offices and sets. Halfway to the stage, we encountered a dog—the Daily Show is the dog-friendliest workplace in the world, they say, with lots of staffers bringing their dogs to work. Here was this darling black terrier-border collie mix, just standing there in the hallway, and being a dog person, I gave it a big pet and tried to absorb that canine calm. We continued on down the hallway, and as we rounded the corner I saw the red and blue lights of the set, and heard and felt the energy of the crowd. He had a big rocking Nickleback (I think) song pumping, and the energy was intense and masculine. It was nice to have a crowd there. I lecture to 200-person halls all the time on my day job, and I enjoy the give and take of the energy. It's so much better being able to feel and read that energy than being in an oddly quiet studio with a host and a camera, and cameramen counting down, and invisible television beams shooting out across the miles. Too quiet! I like human crowds better.
And so BAM! He's back from break, and he's reading my short bio! And all of the sudden, I'm walking across the stage with a big smile and taking my seat at his desk. There are about 215 people in the audience, including a posse of Mormon friends, and as I walk out I am trying to look out at the audience for my friends. The energy is so positive and enthusiastic, I want to wave and make goofy peace signs and say, "What is up, everyone! CAN YOU BELIEVE A REGULAR MORMON GIRL IS DOING HER THING ON THE DAILY SHOW! This is just CRAZY!" But instead I concentrated on making it to the chair. I did not trip! I did not hurl! Hallejullah!
And what happens next I don't really remember, except being right there and saying to myself, "Yes, this is Jon Stewart, and I AM ACTUALLY TALKING TO HIM ABOUT A BOOK I WROTE." Wow. Just wow.
I also remember registering the energy in that chair as being way, way, way more intense than any energy I have experienced elsewhere in the little bit of radio or television I've done. It was like having 1000 laser beams on you. DUDE IS INTENSE. In a very good way. He's just brilliant. He knows the narrative arc he wants to achieve, the argument he wants to frame, and he knows how to do it in exactly the right time frame for the episode, with timing and jokes, and energy. BAM. Super, super impressive.
It took a question or two for me to warm up. And some of the best stuff happened in the web section. We covered all the important stuff: Word of Wisdom, Joseph Smith story, gay Mormons, dance festivals, food storage, and Mitt Romney. . . .and more.
Watch the aired television segment here. And be sure to watch part two—the web exclusive–here.
Can you believe how supportive he was of The Book of Mormon Girl? Again, what a mensch. So generous. And when it was over, he leaned across the desk to me and said, "You know, the point is to demystify. Demystify African-Americans. Demystify Jews. And that's what you're helping do with this book for Mormons." He patted the book appreciatively. Yes, I thought, I hope people can see us as human beings. I love the mystery of faith, but its humanity is just as important.
I shook his hand. And smiled and walked back off stage, with lots of energetic cheers from the audience, and this time I did wave, I think. I felt full of smiles and I thought of that sound a gymnast's feet make when they strike the mat squarely after a good routine. I was quite relieved.
Everyone was extremely nice as I walked back down the halls—the dog was standing in the exact same spot, and I gave it a quick pat of appreciation for chilling me out. I met my smiling husband and editor and press publicist, and then it was time to gather our schwag and head out into the muggy warm Manhattan night, where I met my dear friends Russ, Travis, and Eric at the stage door exit. All smiles. All around.
Big old thank yous the folks at the Daily Show and all my friends who were pulling for me—especially my Mormon feminist posse, who I know were pulling deep. Gratitude! And enjoy the book. Good things can happen when we tell our stories.

Whether your hair is straight or curly, dry or oily, you probably aren't always happy with it. Hair can be a source of frustration for a number of people. Laser Hair Removal Cooper City , there's something you can do to fight back against the bad hair days. In this article, you'll find advice that will help you get the hair you desire.
Take a daily multi-vitamin. One of the best ways to ensure healthy hair growth is to take in a balanced diet with plenty of vitamins. Taking a daily multi-vitamin will supplement your dietary intake to ensure that your body's needs are met or exceeded. Select a high-quality vitamin designed for people of your age and gender.
Do you suffer from dandruff? Seek out a shampoo and conditioner with an ingredient called tea tree oil! Tea tree oil is all-natural, and will work to soothe a dry scalp. This helps to prevent dandruff from being formed, and will leave your hair looking, feeling and even, smelling great.
If you can, try not to blow dry your hair too often and do not color your hair frequently. Both of these can cause your hair to dry out, damaging it in the process. If these products have already dried your hair out, you can use coconut oil twice a week to add moisture.
Use a hair serum to turn frizzy hair into hair that shines. There are many serums that have been specifically designed for whatever type of hair you may have. These serums can give your hair the sleekness and body that you are looking for. Check out your local drugstore or salong to see what they have in stock.
If your hair is dry and brittle, this simple conditioning treatment is a no-brainer. Dampen your hair with a spray bottle and massage in a generous portion of your everyday conditioner. After you have applied it, wrap your locks in plastic wrap so that the heat is trapped. After 30 minutes, wash the conditioner out thoroughly and then rinse well.
Other than natural oils, you should avoid putting styling products directly on your scalp. Not only will this irritate your skin, but you can potentially clog pores and create pimples. This also contributes to flakes and dandruff as the product dries and falls off of your head throughout the day.
Focus on hair color products that contain conditioners and cause little damage. Though you may find inexpensive solutions for coloring your hair, the lack of conditioners could leave your hair strained and lifeless. The recuperation efforts that you will put into your hair after coloring will be reduced when conditioners are incorporated.
For soft and healthy curls, sleep on a satin pillowcase. Cotton pillowcases will absorb oil and moisture, causing dried-out hair. Satin pillowcases will protect hair, and let you wake in the morning with similar curls to the ones you slept with. You can also use a satin bonnet or scarf as well.
Wash your hair when it seems dirty. Some folks insist on washing their hair daily. This could cause more damage than it will help. It could cause your hair and scalp to dry out. Typically, a person's hair only needs to be washed about two or three times a week.
Be careful around chlorine in pools. Chlorine is damaging to your hair. Instead, either use a swim cap or get your hair wet before jumping into the water. This will protect your hair from chlorine. Many pools have showering facilities. If you have access to a shower, wet hair thoroughly before swimming.
As tempting as it may be, try not to get a salon perm for your hair. The chemicals that are used in perms can cause major damage to your hair, even making it fall out. If you insist on getting a perm, ask for a Acid Perm, which does not cause as much damage.
If you struggle with relentlessly dry hair, consider ditching your shampoo. Curly hair, in particular, adapts remarkably well to a no-shampoo routine. You can loosen and remove dirt, dead skin and other debris as you massage your hair and scalp with conditioner instead. It may take a period of transition for the routine to begin showing full benefits, but it is worth a try for those with very dry hair and skin.
There's no hair problem that you can't beat! All it takes is a little time, knowledge, and the right products. Now that you've read this article, you know what you can do to take care of your hair problems. Soon, your hair troubles will have become a thing of the past.

How Kickstarter Helped 'Inocente' Win an Oscar
The short film, "Inocente," about a California teen who fought homelessness and her undocumented status to fulfil her dream to be an artist, won the Oscar last night for Documentary Short Subject.
What many may not realize is "Inocente" raised money on crowdfunding site Kickstarter, with 294 backers pledging $52,527 to the film.
"We were kind of three-quarters done with the film, and we were trying to find more money to make the film, and we decided to do something with Kickstarter with our producers, and it really helped," Sean Fine, one of the film's two directors, told The Wall Street Journal. (The other director is his wife, Andrea Nix Fine).

A school bus driver in Oregon was arrested after he crashed into a ditch off the highway. When deputies arrived at the crash scene, they noticed that the driver, identified as 20-year-old Jonathan C. Gates, was impaired and took him into custody.
Officials said that he was not drunk but did not identify the substance he was on at the time of the crash. Gates was arrested for driving under the influence of intoxicants and taken Washington County Jail, where he was issued a citation and released.
There were ten children between the ages of 10 and 16 on the bus along with an adult bus aid when Gates drove off the highway. Nobody was injured in the crash. Video from inside the bus captured students bouncing off their seats and falling into the aisle as the bus veered off the road.
Gates can be heard telling students he was "so sorry" as the bus came to a stop.
Officials with Forest Grove School District said Gates has been placed on paid administrative leave.
"The safety of our students is our top priority, we'll look at this and work with the sheriff's office, and we'll take the appropriate actions when we have all the details," said David Warner, the Director of Communication and Engagement for Forest Grove School District.

These days the weekends don't mean much. One glorious day just flows into another now that we are working from home. "What's today, again?" Since our retirement from Electric Works we are hard pressed to find our way into the car. We commuted from Forest Knolls to SF for 20 years!!!
But this weekend we found ourselves traveling back to our old SF Civic Center hood for the Women's March where we stood with 10's of thousands of others to protest the Trump regime.
We rode the early ferry into town. Lots of pink pussy hats to be seen and Judith with Clementine's borrowed pink Bat Woman cape—her nod to "Pink Power," caught lots of comments. Hooray for Bat Woman, the heiress who used her fortune to fight the forces of evil. Is there any evidence that Trump has used a dime of his billions to do good?
Since we were early, we headed for SFMOMA to see In the Beginning an exhibition of early Diane Arbus photographs and William Kentridge's profoundly realized essay on the experience of time. Go see it!
As we walked up Market to the Civic Center we were buoyed by a sea of pink pussy hats. The era of calling a whimp a pussy is well over — weakling, coward, sissy. HA!
Coming downstream was an anti-abortion group who had the morning parade permit. We couldn't help but notice the Walk for Life folks had pre-printed signs in black saying, "I am pro-life." All alike and obviously pre-printed and handed out by the thousands. Humorless and lock-step the pro-lifers seem like a one-trick pony. In great contrast to Women's March hand-made creative placards like: "I'm not much of a protest guy, but sheesh!" Or "I've seen better cabinets at IKEA." We'd have a greater affinity if these same folks would care as much about the born as the un-born. Feels like the same crowd that wants to cut school funding and child care. Sheesh is right.
It was a prudent decision to not have the grandkids in strollers with us - it was hard enough to make our way through the crowds to get a place near the speakers stage and our good old friend Ashurbanipal. The sculpture of Ashurbanipal anyway, next to the Main SF Library, who died in 627, BC. Ashurbanipal is an awesome presence standing tall in the plaza area between the library and the Asian Art Museum. A fearsome warrior, king of Assyria, whose mission was to collect and gather books as he made his empire. His library at Nineveh (modern-day Mosul)contained over 30,000 texts discovered in 1847. We know the Epic of Gilgamesh because of Ashurbanipal. In one mighty arm he clutches a lion whose teeth are deep in the king's wrist, the other arm proffers a book. Oh! that we could have a rekindling of interest in knowledge in our post-fact Trumpian world! Our latest bumper sticker — We stand tall with Ashurbanipal.
Energized by the March, we strengthened our resolve to do what we can about the issues near and dear. So on Sunday we headed to Kehoe Beach. Since there have been unbelievable storms dumping record breaking amounts of rain we were sure that there would be plastic aplenty. We were not disappointed. As we topped the first dune and saw stretched out before us piles of kelp and plastic debris, we broke into song— belting out "Happy Days are Here Again."
With the success of Hamilton on Broadway and the 14 Oscar nominations for La La Land we are living in a time of the resurgence of the musical and after the winter storms — the resurgence of plastic.
Right away Richard found a turtle sand toy — YAY — happy days. But soon dark storm clouds gathered and we were blasted with pelting hail and ferocious winds. We got soaked in the deluge and sadly were unable to make our fill-our-bag quota. It was a rough trek back to the car — we slogged our way through sodden sand, slip-slided in the mud and the umbrella was blown inside out. We used to boast that we had visited Kehoe Beach in all kinds of weather but this was inclement with a capital I.
On the trail, during the worst of it, Judith found a mini-Transformer. This auspicious find in the midst of a torrential down pour felt like a sign, a symbol of how to manage the days ahead. Seems like we should face the future as a shapeshifter able to change from vehicle, to animal, to action figure and back again and be, as the Transformer byline suggests, more then meets the eye.

Father Anchises in a pleasant vale
Stood pondering, while his eyes and thought surveyed
A host of prisoned spirits, who there abode
Awaiting entrance to terrestrial air.
And musing he reviewed the legions bright
Of his own progeny and offspring proud—
Their fates and fortunes, virtues and great deeds.
Soon he discerned Aeneas drawing nigh
o'er the green slope, and, lifting both his hands
In eager welcome, spread them swiftly forth.
Tears from his eyelids rained, and thus he spoke:
"Art here at last? Hath thy well-proven love
Of me thy sire achieved yon arduous way?
Will Heaven, beloved son, once more allow
That eye to eye we look? and shall I hear
Thy kindred accent mingling with my own?
I cherished long this hope. My prophet-soul
Numbered the lapse of days, nor did my thought
Deceive. 0, o'er what lands and seas wast driven
To this embrace! What perils manifold
Assailed thee, 0 my son, on every side!
How long I trembled, lest that Libyan throne
Should work thee woe!"
Aeneas thus replied:
"Thine image, sire, thy melancholy shade,
Came oft upon my vision, and impelled
My journey hitherward. Our fleet of ships
Lies safe at anchor in the Tuscan seas.
Come, clasp my hand! Come, father, I implore,
And heart to heart this fond embrace receive!"
So speaking, all his eyes suffused with tears;
Thrice would his arms in vain that shape enfold.
Thrice from the touch of hand the vision fled,
Like wafted winds or likest hovering dreams.
