What I like most about my job:  It’s something new everyday – and lawyers aren’t as bad as everyone says!
The band I’ll always keep on my iPod:  Dave Matthews Band, period. I can’t help it. I will always love listening to their songs.
If I had the day off tomorrow I would:  Go to brunch, play tennis, take my dogs (Tank and Charlie) to a park and watch them duke it out, explore DC or possibly go to a sporting event… but if it was a Friday, I would get out of town! I have 4 siblings in 4 different states so I have a lot of places to choose from.
