Overall I'm pleased with the way we're playing. We have a lot of new young players. We'll get better as the season goes on.

We really do have a young team. We have just two starters who started in the same position. We will start hitting sometime and Meredith definitely had a nice game for us.

She's settling in, really, and I think we'll see her pitch very well the rest of the year.

Right now the keys are we have to start hitting the ball. Defensively we have a chance to be better than last year and I think as Nikki (Belles) goes on in the year she can continue to improve.

There's a great deal of bow hunters in Montana.

I had a guitar when I was 6 or 7, a plastic guitar with the Beatles' faces on it. It would be a collector's item now. It would fetch a hefty sum, I imagine.
