    Ok so here are some questions, Joe:
    Do you have a favorite quote? Or saint?
    Are you a morning person or night owl?
    Do you have a favorite food?
    Would you rather watch a movie or read a book?

    1. Favorite saint: Our Lady, St. Joseph, St. Bruno. Forgot to say Fr Al Schwarz!

      Morning person, through years of having to get up early. Or, maybe, an “after coffee person”?

      I’m definitely tempted by gluttony, I love food. But I don’t think I have a “favorite”. I like everything!

      I would rather read a book (Lord of the Rings, anyone?!)
