Q: What's your favorite bar in Athens?

A: Flannagan's, because the people are neutral.

Q: What's your favorite local restaurant?

A: Five Star Day. The people are good to talk to, and you always meet someone new.

Q: Do you do any volunteer work in Athens?

A: Yes, a group called AWANA through my church. It stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, which comes from 2 Timothy 2:15 in the Bible. It's sort of like a Biblically-centered Boy and Girl Scouts.

Q: Would you ever consider laser-corrective surgery for your eyes?

A: Yes, probably in the next couple of years. My brother-in-law did it, and it was successful.
