I am the writer of the article so it was NOT posted before and is NOT old stuff. As far as my poor grammar I am guilty as charged. My wife caught the tear vs tier. I am sorry that folks are so stuck on the weakness of others and negate the content of what is being said. I did not pass my writing through the grammar checker and didn't have my proof reader approve my post. The corrected text is on my site.
I posted the interview verbatim, so if Chuck or I made a mistake it appears as stated.
Thanks to all who commented. I will make more errors as I am covering Oprah Sunday.
