How many unread emails or texts currently fill your inbox?
Texts, I got locked down to 0 … 30 unread emails and 76 drafts. (Yowza!)

How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Three. Two pair of Yore Unlimited custom shoes and one pair of running shoes.
Which mountains are your favorite — Smoky, Blue Ridge, Rocky, Appalachian, or Catskill?
Appalachian, because I’m currently driving through them. But if I’m being honest, probably the Rockies.

Bulleit Rye.
Fate or free will?
Free will (though, that plus desire and hard work = Fate).
Sweet or sour?
Sour.
Sunrise or sunset?
Sunrise. Though it’s been awhile since I last witnessed one.
