Not all teammates tell the truth.

I see all these old people who don’t have anything to do but eat, drink and sleep.

Whatever the changes, from one era to the next, Pocono has maintained its character and significance to me, and it always will. My family shares this sentiment.

Foreign players is what makes golf so popular now.

It makes great conversation to discuss what’s wrong with open-wheel racing today.

I like that Pilates compromises the mind and body. It’s not just about being able to run around the block a few times.

Electrons and possibly x-rays to be able to get the architecture of these molecules, the molecular structures themselves, of very complex biological systems. That’s the ultimate goal.

So, that’s my intention to focus my efforts there and I hope I will be able to do so.
