What are you listening to these days?
I own every single Beatles songs ever recorded on my iPod, and Billy Joel. I’m sort of old like that, but my teenage daughter is getting me into some of the new stuff.
What are you reading?
“The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism,” by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
What are you watching on TV?
“Marvel’s Agents of Shield.” My family is hooked into that, and we have to watch it religiously every week.
What was the last movie you saw?
The last movie we saw was “Into the Woods” a few weeks ago.
Who is one person, living or dead, you would like to meet and why?
I would say Abe Lincoln. I’ve read a couple books about him recently, and I actually just read Mario Cuomo’s books about like him. So I would want to discuss current events.
Describe your dream vacation.
With this kind of weather, I would want to be on a beach, going for a 5-mile run and then relaxing with a book.
What is your favorite hobby?
Running. I’m a pretty regular runner, and it takes up most of my free time. And going to the YMCA.
Describe what your last meal would be.
It would have to be a seafood pasta. Scallops and shrimp over pasta with an Alfredo sauce.
What is your favorite local memory?
Walking to Four Corners this summer with my family to get ice cream at Buddy’s.
What three things would you bring with you to a desert island?
Sunblock, my family and coffee.
