Favorite class: Daycare.

If you could invite anyone in the world to dinner, whom would you invite, and what would you serve: Paul Walker. And I definitely wouldn’t be the one to cook. That’s his job.

Favorite class: Physical Education.

If you could invite anyone in the world to dinner, whom would you invite, and what would you serve: (Former Mariner) Edgar Martinez. I feel like I could learn a lot from his hitting and his mental approach to the game. I’d serve some chicken.
