Hello. Dr. Odd here. I met Karen back in high school because she is my friend Margaret's sister. She went to university. She is a very nice and sweet girl. She doesn't have a TV which is nutty. You can drop her a line here. Karen Meaney

What is the 1st thing you want to do when you get home from work or when you wake up on the weekends?

From work, change out of uncomfortable work clothes. On the weekends, go to the bathroom and get a cup of coffee.

Who would you like to pattern yourself after?

Jesus always saw the good in all people and I try to do that.

What is your favorite vacation spot?

I will always want to visit Galway, Ireland. I've had some great times in Door County, WI this summer. Also, anywhere the Chicks are getting together.

If you could get paid the same amount of $ at your current job and do anything, what would it be?

What kind of music you like the most and why?

I like a lot of different kinds. Lately I've been listening to Prince's new album in the car and Miles Davis in the mornings before work. The only no-no for my CD collection is sappy country music.

Who have you been most influenced by and why?

My parents, my sister, my girlfriends from college and my boyfriend. They all are, in different ways, great examples of how to live a good life and be a good person. They give me confidence and encourage me to try things I otherwise wouldn't.

I have two: Milwaukee, WI and Chicago, IL.

What do you usually eat for dinner?

Lately, it's either cereal and yogurt, salads or something frozen I can cook in the microwave. I'm not big into cooking.

I check the National Weather Service website several times a day. I'd be lost without bankone.com. I love looking at the pictures on drodd.com.

I never get tired of Ella Fitzgerald sings Gershwin.

Got any nick-names? What do they mean or how did you get them?
