Major League
One food that you wouldn’t eat as a kid that your love now?
White beans (I need the hot sauce though).
Scariest movie you have ever seen?
I am not into scary movies.
Gutsiest thing you have ever done?
The gutsiest I can think of was during the Dyersburg Leadership retreat when we had to climb to the top of the light pole (harnessed). The last step to get to the top was tough… I can’t stand heights. I’m not much into extreme adventure.
Something good that happened today?
I’ve been out of town all week. Happy I was able to see my family before going into work this morning.
