I love Karaoke.  Always have, always will.  Sucka!

First job: Ice Cream Dipper at a Baskin-Robbins in Pella, IA (my hometown), getting paid $2.10 an hour to work with a grody boss who liked to grope. ICK.

Here's something even my mother doesn't know about me...
Yikes!  Probably that I harbor a secret love of Old School Hip Hop and Metal Rock.  And that my daughter knows and can sing the entire track of "TNT" from early AC/DC.  Rock On!  OH....I also dig
