Are you reading anything right now, and would you recommend it?

“Blue Bloods” and “Downton Abbey.”
What was the last movie you saw?
“The Best of Me” – surprising twists in plot, wonderfully sentimental.

George Washington. He was our greatest president and yet he was humble enough to walk away from the job.

Anywhere with my wife and daughter and/or on a lake with boating and swimming.
Do you have any favorite hobbies?
Host a radio show. Sports: soccer dad; working out; following Yankees and Siena Saints.
