I'm tired.
There was a nano-second, when I considered whether or not I could/would keep doing this.
I am forever encountering those who are looking for a short-cut, and I am seemingly always “on”.
Yet they keep trying to ice-skate uphill.
Then a switch flipped.
I know what I am doing. I know that I am patriotic.
I know that I do enjoy doing this.
So, here's my rant. Like it or don't. I don't care.
I will keep doing it, because it is the right thing. And I will prevail.
Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell them about the
“...funniest person there ever was...”

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
