It's not 100 percent yet.

The practices are the important part, that's where all the scouts are. I had a great week of practice. I just went out there and competed. It was a lot of fun.

It was definitely a surprise. Just being invited in a huge honor. It means that someone out there likes me.

Life is all about rides. This is something I've always wanted. There have been hard bumps in the road that have got me down, but never got me off track. I'm just blessed.

Anyone who worked with Michael knows what a great room-jarring laugh he had. He was your best audience for anything remotely funny.

He got around to everyone during the week and that's when he told me anyway and he went around to everyone individually and spoke to everyone.
