What are you most likely doing on the weekend?
In the summer hiking or gardening. In the winter XC skiing, reading or the gym. I just started agility with my son's dog. She's a rock star, so we'll see if we do something with that. -
What is a fun fact few people know about you?
I worked on the slime line in Pelican, Alaska to pay for college. -
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A horse trainer or a nurse (like my grandmother) or maybe a teacher. -
If you could choose a superpower, what would it be?
A magic wand to wave so I can just fix things or make things happen - even impossible things. -
What are your favorite books?
I read The Stand three or four times so I guess that must be a favorite. Alice in Wonderland.
