What was the funniest thing that has ever happened to you? “Just about any time the kids put me in my place. On our Hawaii honeymoon, driving more than four hours to see the Seven Sacred Pools, only to learn from the official sign that they are neither seven nor sacred.”
“A few years back, a friend and I were motorcycling around Lake Superior. We were traveling up Highway 61 and I became lost in the beautiful scenery and Bob Dylan on the radio. As we pulled into a rest stop, I came in a little too fast and dumped my bike. I had been preoccupied turning down the volume on the radio, so as not to disturb the others at the rest stop. No injuries, but it reminded me of the importance of prioritizing.”
