"The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves.

 1) What was I doing 10 years ago?

In summer 1998, I was divorced and living in Columbia, Maryland with my two sons.  My older son was having a fabulous bike racing season with Team Snow Valley.  I was also job hunting because the company who had moved me to Maryland had been sold. 

 2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today?

1.      Take son to 2pm doctor appointment

2.      Ride an hour

3.      Blog post (thanks Barbara for the topic)

4.      Work on a special knitting project

5.      Make sure that Debbie and Chuck get an invitation to next weekend’s Scholarship Ball

 3) Snacks I enjoy:

I’m addicted to Nature Valley fruit and nut Trail Mix bars and therefore call one with OJ my breakfast every day.  Lately, I’m enjoying the 100 calorie Lorna Doon packs as mid-day snacks.  Put potato or tortilla chips in front of me and my addictive behavior goes wild.

 4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

I would retire hastily and haul ass to the Northern Neck and buy a nice, comfortable house on the water.  My fiber store there would be next.  At some point, I would travel to Belgium, France, Denmark, Sweden, Spain and Italy; not necessarily in that order.  I would buy my son and his fiancé a house, too.  And then there’s that college thing for the other son.  There’s also a Colnago frame somewhere just waiting for me to ride it!

 5) Places I have lived:

Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland

 6) Jobs I have had:

Before graduating from college: retail mostly, but I was the bookkeeper for the National Athletic Trainers Association my senior year.  After college, every job has been in Finance and Accounting Management; including a Medicare auditor, controller for a real estate developer, department finance manager at Duke University and now VP of Finance for Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation.  Hopefully, this is my last real job!
