If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead) who would it be and where would you go? I suppose it would be my Grandpa M. He passed away a little over 10 years ago, and I’ve had a lot of questions for him since. I imagine we’d just have dinner at the farm.
What is your dream job? Motorcycle reviewer. How could it get any better? Travel the country always riding the newest bikes and getting paid to do it!
