Last year, I would worry about where I'd be going, but this year I work start to start and whatever happens happens.

It is a worry because Shane just hasn't been able to shake off the problem, but it is still our hope that he will be fit for the Heineken Cup and then for Wales in the Autumn.

There are too many department stores in Canada. It simplifies the corporate structure so he doesn't have to worry about minority shareholders. If he wants to start selling real estate and leasing back stores, he can do that and get some cash back. It gives him complete control.

It's definitely a lot different from earlier in spring training or even last year. Just trusting yourself and not being all tense out there and being loose and limber, that's the remedy I went through the last couple days. Just be that effortless, fluid guy you've always been. That's what I try to concentrate on. It loosens me up and things happen for the better.

Ever since I came to camp, I tried to show people I can win a spot. This year, I just took it day by day, outing by outing. I focused on the mitt and kept it simple. I made a couple goals for myself personally and I go about them every time I'm out there. They are: throw strikes and attack.

I?m approaching it like I?m throwing to my father. I?m staying relaxed.
