Twelve Things About Me You May Not Know

Supervising a Snowball Fight: Andrew vs. the Stanfords

If you’re going to read my blog, you need to know a little about the person who writes it. The following is a questionnaire that Trey Morgan completed about himself on his blog. I thought sharing this was a great idea – except this is about me – not him.

    • We saw TSO’s 2009 concert. I thought is was great. We took Andrew (age 12 at the time) he was impressed.
