What keeps you up at night?
My son.
When and where did you last eat fast food?
Today at Red Robin. I guess that’s fast food—I consider it fast food.
Are you good at keeping secrets? If so, who can vouch for you?
Yes. Michael—my boyfriend.
Baths or showers?
Showers, absolutely.
What are you keeping in your garage that you should have thrown out already?
A broken green end table.
What relaxes you?
A glass of white wine.
What’s your favorite season?
It depends where you are. In Phoenix, my favorite season is early spring.
Where would we find you at 10 a.m. on a typical Saturday morning?
Sitting on my sofa with my cat on my lap, and a cappuccino.
What teacher or professor changed your life, if any?
My water law professor.

Sleep.
