If that sounds boring, what if I told you that he's married to a physician-athlete superhero, that he knows more about A Tribe Called Quest than you do, and that he has a good argument for why you should pay more taxes to make Dallas an even better place? Give us five stars in iTunes or we will kill you. Thanks.

Here's the story about her kid: https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2017/february/yes-i-left-my-child-alone-in-a-movie-theatre/
