Marya and Jack's answers to this week's Rorschach Questions.

1. What is your favorite trail in Billings?

Marya: Norm Schoenthal Island – I love walking my dog, or playing by the river, or even snowshoeing in the winter. It’s such a treasure.

Jack: Zimmerman Trail. The views up there are unbeatable.

2. Where have you found inspiration lately? 

Marya: From my husband. He is always creating something new or building/designing things in his head and in reality. It reminds me that it’s okay to create for the pure joy of it and not necessarily to achieve.

Jack: This past City/County election gave me a lot of professional inspiration. After that, I feel like a lot more things are possible for us.

3. What are you looking forward to most this holiday season?

Marya: Time off to spend with my family.

Jack: I always look forward to shopping for Christmas . I love giving great people great presents.
