People are always asking me where to take vacation. What's a cool place? What's the most scenic drive? Carolina Conversations attempts to answer those questions and others.

Dazzling Dozen Game

It's a twelve question quiz this morning. Relax because there are no right or wrong answers. But there is a prize for the person who comes up with the most interesting answers - a copy of my new CD "Blue Ridge Reunion." It’ll be fun to read your responses.


1. What famous person would you like to prepare Thanksgiving dinner for your family?

2. What is your favorite doughnut?

3. What was your last random act of kindness?

4. Do you prefer bluebirds or cardinals?

5. What is your favorite North Carolina author?

6. What is the color of Heaven?

7. What is your favorite board game?

8. What is your strangest personal habit?

9. What is your favorite NC vacation destination?

10. What is the noblest thing you've ever done?
