The New York Times ran an interesting interview last week with Paula Broadwell. Perhaps the name sounds familiar but you can’t quite place the face? She is the woman who had a romantic relationship with General David Petraeus. When the nature of the relationship was revealed, and the nature of the sensitive information he shared with her, he resigned his position as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Currently, he is a partner at Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts, & Co., serving as the chairman of the KKR Global Institute.

The clouds were threatening and were moving towards us last Sunday afternoon. We stopped at a wine and cheese store in Stockbridge as the drizzle turned to a downpour. Wet, but safely inside as the skies opened. The rain was torrential. The report later was 3 inches in less than an hour. Roads flooded.

It happened on Saturday. We were on our friend’s boat watching The Blue Angel’s airshow. The sky was clear blue and the weather on the water was incredible. There was the subtlest breeze so it wasn’t too hot or too cold.
And the airshow was astounding. Surrounded by family and friends I couldn’t help but look around and think, “What a perfect moment. I am so lucky to be here.”
