Who is your hero (besides Jesus)? My wife, Melody. Really. She's always been someone I have respected in how she handles different "opportunities" with grace. She's someone I have always admired and wished I could be more like.       

What do you do on your day off? I either work in the yard (told to do this by the One I Admire), or ride my motorcycle (given to me by the One I Admire), or watch NCAA sports (with the One I Admire).
