I would have been miserable if I didn't have surgery. I'm pretty happy that I did have surgery. It makes it all worthwhile.

My first week back was January 14th or 17th, so my mat time compared to everyone else is pretty slim. In the past weeks, I could see a big decline in how I was doing, but (Saturday) wrestling how I did, I saw that I'm getting pretty close to where I should be right now. I'm feeling really good about things.

I get nervous before every match now. Last year, I didn't have anything to lose. It's a bigger deal if I lose this year.

I think hard drugs are disgusting. But I must say, I think marijuana is pretty lightweight.

It got pretty hot, so the ball was going a long way. I managed to pull back, leave the driver in the bag and put it in play.

It depends on physically how I feel. I enjoy playing and it is a pretty good lifestyle.
