Tell us about a “to-do” item on your “Bucket List.”

I want to have the true National Lampoon vacation: rent an RV, pack up the entire family and head to Mount Rushmore. What an adventure! Think of the stories.

What is your favorite inspirational quote?

“All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, Dads, Grannies and Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles – someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next generation their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams.” - Colin Powell

What tool/software (Allegra related) can’t you live without?

I love the Thesaurus tool in Word. I spend a lot of my day composing email messages and sometimes, you just need another word for “production.” It never ceases to amaze me that I can type in a simple word and immediately/instantly/directly get another option. Brilliant!

If you were a shoe, what shoe would you be? (describe why)

While a well-cushioned running shoe seems the practical choice, when it comes to shoes, I throw practicality out the window. If I were a shoe, I’d be a high healed pump made with exquisite silky smooth taupe fabric. I’d have an open toe, to best show off a vibrantly colored pedicure. My heal would be tall and rounded, narrowing to a slim point. At the ankle, there would be a dramatic double-sided ribbon with magenta satin on the underside - just a hint of bright pink as the ribbon loops around and ties in a dramatic bow. Shoes to me are like art you can wear…they allow creative expression – and if they’re beautiful enough, I can overlook the pain!
