Q&A with Jill

What are your hobbies?
Exercising and napping. Could they be on more opposite ends of the spectrum?

People would be surprised if they knew:
Back in the day, I worked at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. Part of my job included educational animal presentations. Gertie, a member of our slithering reptiles, was a 12-foot long boa constrictor who I held on to just as tightly as she held me as I introduced her to visitors.

What’s your favorite sport to play?
Just like my dog Bella, I don’t “do” sports. However, I do like falling asleep on Sunday afternoons while listening to golf on television. The calming whispers of the commentators put me to sleep every time.

Favorite band or artist?
I have to go with the Eagles. You can always count on classic rock for a good time and great memories.

What gadget could you not live without and why?
My Keurig. It makes coffee for me every morning and that makes me a kinder, gentler human being.
