astonishing broadcast career to edit a motorcycle magazine because she thought it would be fun. we used to joke that brenda had sort of a different bucket list in life. when you saw hers, you realized your bucket list was the odd one. hers captured what really mattered in life. like how much she loved animals and couldn't help but retweeting how delighted she was when ringling brothers announced when they were shutting down and how much she loved her daughters and the pride she took seeing her youngest vote for the first time last fall. little things in life that define the big things in brenda's life. a woman who would gloss over talking to financial and political king pens as another day at the office. for more eager to share her plans for girls night out with her daughters after that day in the office. no bravado.
