Thrush reportedly said he plans to enter a substance abuse program, The Times reported. The woman was one of three who cited similar experiences with Thrush to Vox. Thrush, 50, has been married to Diane Webber for many years. The couple have two teenage twin boys and met while working at one of their first jobs in New York City. Thrush & Webber Met When They Worked for a Small NYC Newspaper Here’s what you need to know about Webber and Thrush’s relationship:ġ. This past Father’s Day, Thrush took part in a questionnaire for and said he’s the father of two 14-year-old twin boys named Nathaniel and Charles. Thrush wrote that Nathaniel’s middle name (Grayson) was after a name on Webber’s side of the family, while Charles is named after his now-deceased mother, Carol. Thrush commented on his strengths as a father in the answer below: He wrote that even though he’s often busy as the White House correspondent for the New York Times, he sees them “every day” whenever he’s around. I have never treated them like children intellectually. I’ve always shared what I was reading, what I was listening to musically, with whom I was talking. The membrane between my intellectual life and theirs has always been highly permeable. In terms of their emotional life, of course, I’ve had more boundaries. I don’t know if I’m great at it, but the combination of treating them as adults intellectually and creatively but understanding that they’re children from an emotional perspective is something I’ve certainly been conscious of. Thrush also admitted to having a “terrible temper” in the Q&A, saying he can be “imperious” when expressing opinions and has the habit of taking things his boys say literally and responding it in an emotional way. The boys recently celebrated their bar mitzvahs, and he noted they both “nailed” both the Torah portion and their speeches. “It was a real moment when I had one of those great parental surprises where your kids far exceed what your expectations of them were,” he wrote. Webber currently works as a project editor at Kaiser Health News in Washington D.C., a position she’s held since August 2011, her LinkedIn account said. In the role, she works on a partnership project between the company and National Public Radio. Its goal is to bring NPR reporters in for workshops lasting a week long long. In addition, Webber also edits the copy of reporters for their website and with other partners. Webber started her journalism career shortly after she graduated from Barnard College in 1990 with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy. She was also a dance minor at the New York City-based liberal arts school. You shouldn’t give it up.Her first position in the field was as the editor for Downtown Express (1990-1992) before becoming the managing editor at The Brooklyn Papers until 1998. Now I have a new response the next time my friend starts in on his guilt for going back to coffee or his righteousness in giving it up: Coffee makes you live longer. Even more interesting, “the association between coffee and lower risk of dying was similar whether the coffee drinker consumed caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee.” It’s something about the more than 1,000 compounds in a cup of coffee, caffeine or no. The researchers say that this doesn’t mean that coffee makes you healthier, but the study seems to show that it doesn’t hurt you, either. I drink at least one cup of coffee or tea a day, and I’ve heard the conflicting reports on the possible benefits and deleterious effects of coffee and caffeine since I was a kid. A few years ago, I decided not to care because, again, there are worse things to be addicted to. This post summarizes a study that looked at the coffee-drinking habits of more than 400,000 men and women ages 50 to 71 and found that “the risk of dying during the 14-year study period was about 10 percent lower for men and about 15 percent lower for women who drank anywhere from two cups to six or more cups of coffee a day.” Alrighty then. Why worry about it? And, indeed, a recent post in the New York Times Well blog says that a coffee a day helps the heart, as well as a number of other health issues. My response to wherever he is in his caffeine cycle is always the same: There are worse things to be addicted to. I have a friend who is constantly giving up coffee, falling off the wagon, feeling bad about it, and then proselytizing his abstention once again.
