9. What’s your most embarrassing moment?

Ahhh there have been a few – the worst of which was when I was on a conference call with a very prestigious group of people from my work while driving home.  The call got dropped so I pulled over (on a stretch of road just past a blind curve) to call back into the meeting.  However, I forgot to put myself on mute.  When I was attempting to pull back onto the road a car flew around the blind curve and almost side-swiped me.  Needless to say I blurted out a string of expletives.  All of a sudden I heard snickering and that’s when I realized that everyone on the call heard my outburst.  I wanted to die.

I wish I had travelled more.
11. What kind of car would you buy if money were no object?

Nothing fancy…. a Subaru Outback – fully loaded of course….
