fact that was the day she picked in the office pool brought about some good-natured ribbing among her co-workers at KITV, with a subtle suggestion she may have induced labor. Her boss at the TV station, Mike Rosenberg, was startled to see her show up at the office yesterday. She elected to continue her usual form of labor as national sales manager of KITV, a mere six days after ushering Max into the world.
