Q. What is one thing you have yet to cross off your bucket list?
A. Skydiving. The military gave me the chance to jump out of planes, but with a static line and WWII parachutes. You land like a sack of potatoes! I want to experience free fall.
Q. If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
A. The one that would allow me to provide world peace. Nah, just kidding. That will never happen. I’d want to be able to fly. Have the ability to go wherever I want whenever I want. Without a mask!
Q. List 3 of your favorite hobbies.
A. Traveling(hard these days), fishing(notice I didn’t say catching) and finding/trying new bourbon. I’m like a woman in a shoe store when I’m in the liquor store. I have to look at them all. Yes, I very much consider that a hobby! Don’t judge me.
Q. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
A. On an island in the Caribbean. Not uninhabited though. There has to at least be a grocery and liquor store on it. The less people the better, though.
Q. What was your first job?
A. My first paying job was at 14. I was a suite runner at the Michigan International Speedway. I ran, literally, food trays up to the suites at the top of the stands. I think my legs are still burning. And I still hate rich people…. and people in general.
