11. (9 + 6) = 15 (X 2) (like in 82 a.k.a. 1982 a.k.a. Teal’s birth year) = 30
12. On this day in 1839 the Cherokee Nation formed and you know what? Teal is part Cherokee!
13. Pretty much she is a bad ace and all who know her are lucky!
14. Teal’s cool husband, Michael, collaborated on this with me…..thanks, Miguel!
