When you have downtime, how do you spend it? With two little kids, downtime is a stretch, but time by myself is a rare gift. Reading, watching some TV with my feet up, getting a pedicure.

Tell us two lies and a truth about yourself…keep them guessing!
I was a top ROTC cadet in college.
I got to sing on stage with Huey Lewis and the News in the mid 80’s.
I was voted most likely to be heard without a microphone in high school.
