If you had to do without one of your five senses, which would it be? Smell … though I think that might affect taste, so I’m not sure about that.
Have you ever milked a cow? No.Do you use Twitter? I recently signed up, but I’m nowhere near proficient.
What’s a restaurant or dish you’ve always wanted to try? Escargot, but I can never pull the trigger and make myself do it.
What’s the best thing since sliced bread? The iPhone. Obvious answer, but it’s true.
What was your favorite activity (organized or otherwise) as a child? Kick-the-can and hide-and-seek in our cul-de-sac.
What is the easiest way you’ve found to “go green”? We are aggressive recyclers.
What was the first long trip you ever took? Probably to Mexico when I was 13. Ten days, all expenses paid … I didn’t know how good I had it!
Do you have a hidden talent? I know all the words to both the male and female parts of the song “I’ve Gotta Man.” It’s only funny because it’s atrocious.
