#9. As Sarah is gushing in excitement about her big wedding in New York, she suddenly gets a little melancholic as she remembers one of her close friends, a firefighter, who paid the ultimate price helping people during 9/11. Claire tells her she needs to go to the 9/11 Museum by Ground Zero on May 21st. Conde Nast made a donation to let visitors in to the 9/11 museum for free on that day. Great PR play by Conde Nast as they prepare to move into One WTC. Sarah agrees.

#5. As Claire leaves the house to drop Brit off at preschool in her 2008 BMW, she finds that the gas tank is almost close to empty. Driving to the nearby gas station, she cringes at the 4 dollar gas prices. Maybe it's time for a more fuel efficient car? Perhaps Parade's article on the 2013 LA Auto Show featuring Honda Accord as 2014 Green Car of the Year might make her consider a trade-in?

#10. As Claire settles into her office, she starts thinking about her upcoming business trip to Hong Kong next week and that extremely long flight. Speaking of flights, Wired's story with a practical theory on what might have happened to the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines flight to Beijing is making so much more sense than all the other speculation that is flying around in the media, Claire thinks nervously.

#16. As Claire goes back to working on her materials, she figures it is about time she hired more help for the summer - maybe an intern? She quickly remembers an article talking about Conde Nast's coveted internship program which was shut down after two former interns ratted them out for treating interns like slaves. Seriously? When will these old-world media companies get off their high horse and realize that these practices won't fly in this day and age of digital media, Claire ponders.
