Jeff Mariotte Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. If it's worth doing, it's worth trying to do it better the next time. Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be? A. Flight. Q. What do you regret most? A. The answer to "What are your most overused words or phrases?". Q. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be? A. Right where I am, on the Flying M Ranch. Though Paris would be okay, too. Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be? A. My teenage son and I just participated in PizzaQuest 2011, an event that we made up. Pizza from a different source for dinner for six nights straight, comparing and contrasting. Having survived that, I think pizza would have to be up there. But that might mean giving up chocolate (and, by extension, chocolate chip cookies). Hmmm... going to have to think on this a while.
