Name an item on your bucket list.
Visiting Iceland, seeing all of the natural beauty, hiking glaciers, and staying in a glass igloo in order to better view the northern lights.

What is your favorite place?
Anywhere with an ocean view, lots of sand, and a swim-up bar.  If there is someone available to bring you cold drinks without having to leave the beach, that's a real plus!  Aruba tops the list so far.

What is your favorite sport to watch?
I grew up near Pittsburgh and got to enjoy the Steelers of the 70's and 80's.  Four Super Bowl wins in six years!  That turned me into a football fan forever.  There were a lot of great players on those teams and a few of them may have been better than my favorite; BUT, nobody lit the fuse for that defense like number 58, Jack Lambert.  Just enough of the crazy to push him over the top for me.
