Favorite restaurant?
My grandmother's kitchen, there was no better cooking and atmosphere.
What is always in your refrigerator?
Butter Pecan Ice Cream - it's always comforting to know I have a not so healthy fallback option.
Guilty pleasure?
I'm a bit of a Sci-Fi nut, but nothing really dark, more along the lines of the Stargate series.
Who would play you in the movie of your life?
I am hoping for Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, but I am expecting George Costanza.
Favorite Vacation?
My ideal vacation would be sitting on white sugar sand, overlooking an emerald green clear ocean with puffy white clouds drifting overhead, holding an ice-cold beer in my left hand, and a Tom Clancy book in my right.
