At home I have hunting magazines on my nightstand. I'm an avid hunter. I hunt every chance I get.

I eat at In-N-Out Burger every chance I get.

I feel very responsible for my brother, and I try and protect him every chance I get.

By doing that in early fall, it gives the seed a chance to germinate and start maturing before the winter slows it down. Next spring it will start growing again and will be ready for the heat of the summer.

That's the advantage of being the home team. You always get a chance to win it in the last at bat.

Being away from home gave me the chance to look at myself with a jaundiced eye. I learned not to be ashamed of a real hunger for knowledge, something I had always tried to hide, and I came home glad to start in here again with a love for Europe that I am afraid will never leave me.
