Waking up Christmas mornings at about 5:00 a.m.,
turning the tree lights on, and waiting for Mom

younger?
Monopoly, Risk, and lots of made-up outdoor
games with my brother, my sisters, and my
cousins.

have a favorite song. Right now (it’s the middle
of a snowstorm), I’m thinking I really like
Sheryl
Crow’s “Soak up the Sun”.
What song brings back a good memory and why?
Wipe Out, because all of my friends and I had
that song played at our wedding dances. I won’t
explain further.

or others?
I really admire people who devote a lot of their

me.

We have a LOT of musical equipment (enough for a

know.
