What's on your iPod? Songs to run by depending on my mood. If it's Sunday morning, it's Beatles. If it's a weekday (after work) it's Aerosmith or Led Zeppelin something that gets me back to my Southern roots.
Which professional sport would you play and why? Soccer. It's legal to slide tackle on the field. Every time I do it to people in the grocery store or at the mall the cops show up.
If you were not in TV news, what profession would you choose? I can't even imagine.
What's something that no one knows about you? That I still wear my retainers at night. And sometimes, when I'm jogging, I fantasize about old rescues I went on 15 years ago as a Virginia Beach lifeguard. It makes me train harder to think someone is drowning and I have to go save them. Sham wow.
Dinner for 5, who would you invite? (Dead or alive) David Duchovny, UT columnist Tim Sullivan, Julie Foudy, Gandhi and my dog Sally.
