Who are your favorite musical groups?
The Eagles, Kris Kristofferson. Right now I'm enjoying the soundtrack for "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
What words do you most overuse?
"Incentivize." I don't even know if it's a word, but I use it to mean "to provide incentives."
If you hadn't chosen your current occupation, what would you have chosen?
I'm a closet artist, mostly painting and sculpting. Now I'm into carving tree trunks into biomorphic, totemic figures. |
