It teaches us a lot of the bad things but also of the good things and I suppose the strength the spirit of nature and I think that is what’s so revealing Solomon’s story that it speaks to all of us, cause it’s the depths of his soul and his humility and the way that he tells the story.

Engine 55 is on Broome Street, and so we covered Little Italy and Chinatown and Soho and the Lower East side. Certainly in the early 80s it was probably busier than it is now, but I missed the heyday of when it was super busy in like the 60s and 70s.

Ripa appears as a guest on The Late Show with David Letterman and talks about her strong-willed daughter, her accidental “butt selfie” to her in-laws, and the struggles of handling the extra-large iPhone 6 with her small hands.

We got my father-in-law for his birthday an iPad. And I don’t really know about the cloud, I don’t really understand where it comes from, but we’re all operating under the same…it’s the same cloud. And I was sending my beloved husband who was away in L.A. shooting a show, I sent him a cute, adorable butt selfie in my underpants.
