On a Lighter Note

Where is an exciting place you have visited?
I have traveled to the Orkney Islands, the Isle of Iona, and the Highlands in Scotland; the Cinque Terre and the Amalfi coast in Italy; Mont-Saint-Michel, Étretat, and Normandy in France; and the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, which is known for the world’s highest tides.

What is one of the best pieces of advice you have received?
Always let others save face. You must allow people to leave a situation with their dignity.

Do you play a musical instrument?
I play the piano and am presently into Bossa Nova, a musical genre heavily influenced by jazz and samba that originated in Brazil in the 1950s.
