Hopefully the best is yet to come.

We didn't have a big lead, and we knew Rock Island would fight to the end. I didn't want to let up just because we had an early lead.

I'm throwing the same pitches. I'm just trying to be a smarter pitcher this year. Learn from my mistakes and know what pitches to throw to certain players.

I love that feeling of just finishing a workout and knowing I'm taking care of my body. It is such a good feeling.

If you had asked me when I was 28 and in my wedding dress if I ever thought I would end up in my forties flipping my husband the bird over potato chips, I'd say you were crazy.

I can't say I'm not guilty of age discrimination when it comes to animals. Like most people I've walked into a shelter more than a few times and a magnetic force has pulled me toward those fluffy little puppies in the corner cage.
