Q&A

Are you a paw-rent? Tell us about your pet!
Why, yes, I am. I grew up with animals and live with a two-year-old Pug, named Bridgerton. He is from a rescue in Utah, and he has a rib that sticks out some. He howls when the ambulance goes by or when he is in a deep sleep. We live near an ambulance station so the howling can be several times a day. He enjoys it since we give him dog snacks to make him quiet. I tell him it is fine if he wishes to sing, the song of his people.
If you could time travel to any moment in history, when and where would you go?
As a lover of all things “Outlander”, I would travel to the 1700s to visit Midhope Castle in Scotland. I am currently having a painting done for my office with this castle in it. I am half Scottish (clan Crawford) and would love to meet my relatives in this time from my clan.
What song do you have on repeat right now?
I am showing my age here, but I enjoy “Jet Airliner” by the Steve Miller Band. All you Gen Z folks must goggle it, but we gen x folks and boomers know it in our head. It’s a classic with an amazing guitar riff. I also like the visualization of taking a big ole’ jet airliner far away 😊
