My passion is ...

It changes every day.

I know too much about ...

Columbo

My parents always told me ...

Leaves of three, let it be. Leaves of four, eat some more! (I'm only kidding; I don't even know what this means. Please don't take this advice. Your life could be at stake.)

My childhood ambition ...

To be a writer, of course.

My favorite memory ...

Scoring a goal for my college co-ed extra curricular floor hockey team. I mean, the births of my children. And my wedding day.

Why I write ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Fabulous New Orleans by Lyle Saxson, Columbo, and "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder REPEATEDLY! (My son's favorite song)

My first job ...

McDonalds-what else?

My best moment ...

See floor hockey reference above. And, of course, what follows.

My inspiration ...

In a word, God.
