In this photo, I was…Somewhere in the middle of Missouri, on my first fishing expedition. I had cast out about five or six times (once narrowly missing my companion), and I managed to snag this little guy. After posing for posterity's sake, I took the hook out myself and turned him loose. My seasoned-fisherman friend didn't catch anything, much to his dismay. Call it beginner's luck!The sexiest accent in the world is…British
My biggest travel gripe is…I hate, hate, hate waiting for luggage; you've gotten through the hard part—why does it take so long to get your bag?
My best road trip was…Kansas to North Carolina, 1997; my mom and I nearly killed each other, but we saw the best of middle America and the South
