If you had to choose a different profession, what would it be? This is tough because there are so many things I'd like to try; professional snowboarder; color commentator for the NCAA tournament; a weatherman so I have an excuse to go outside in violent weather; an infinitely wealthy Wall Street guy - maybe I should have tried that one first.
