READING: I read the Wall Street Journal every day for unbiased and intelligent journalism. My most-recommended book is Younger Next Year, which emphasizes the benefits of exercise for quality of life.

INSPIRING FLORIDIAN: Gov. Bob Martinez is a hero of mine. His ability to navigate difficult situations with grace, empathy, and humility is simply amazing.
