Favorite thing about Lawrence? I guess the stragglers from around the state that it attracts, who felt like they had to come here to be comfortable. And the trees. I like the trees.

Least favorite thing about Lawrence? The new development, as far as the lofts (on New Hampshire Street) and stuff like that. Overland Park’s creeping in.

What’s your spirit animal? I think spirit animals are kind of offensive, because it’s a Native American thing. But I like sea anemones. I wouldn’t say they’re my spirit animal, though.

Tell us a secret: Everybody thinks they’re the good guy.
