Nate Berkus gets thoughtful, playful

If Nate Berkus had it to do all over again, would he jump into the daily talk show meat grinder? The answer to that and many other questions are thoughtfully delivered here by Oprah's favorite designer. I caught up with Berkus when he was the headline speaker at his alma mater Talmud Torah of Minneapolis' annual benefit held at Adath Jeshurun Congregation in Minnetonka. We had several playful moments. One was about his socks, which I believe to be worth millions. However, I didn't have room on my startribune.com/video for another involving his love of jewelry and his eager curiosity when told that I knew a good place to find jewelry. He just had to laugh when he realized this was a reference to goldenwearonline.com -- his mom's business. Berkus also surprised me with the information that somebody had told him I formerly worked for Oprah. Interesting imaginary resumé entry but not true; I have done several paintings of Oprah, however.
