\nI recharge my battery by settling in on the couch and taking part in a good ol\u2019 fashioned \u201cGolden Girls\u201d marathon.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019d be a sports journalist and hopefully a recurring guest on ESPN\u2019s \u201cAround the Horn\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nI love trying new and interesting restaurants around town, attending Los Angeles sports matches and letting off some steam at the batting cages or gym.<\/p>\n
\nI can juggle and I can ride a unicycle \u2026 I\u2019ve never tried doing both simultaneously.<\/p>\n
\n– Fixer Upper, Property Brothers, Flip or Flop, Love It or List It, Ghost Encounters, Lost UFO Files, The Mick, Teachers<\/p>\n
\nCurrently working on \u201cSum It Up\u201d (a biography on coaching legend Pat Summitt) and a GRE Test Prep book.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m not a big snacker but I will once or twice (or several hundred times a day) visit Bones\u2019 candy bowl. *note, Bones is PCC Athletic Director Tony Barbone<\/p>\n
\nGreece! I\u2019m dying to go there.<\/p>\n
\nLos Angeles Dodgers, Detroit Lions, San Diego State University Aztecs<\/p>\n
\nI have two: When I was 9, I was in love with Mike Piazza so I made him a giant sign professing my love and tried to take it into Dodger Stadium for a game. But security confiscated it from me before I got in. I\u2019m still damaged from that.<\/p>\n
