Im pretty fair-skinned, so I need to get in the sun for a little while.
The two biggest things that translate from a pitching mound to hunting and fishing are patience and perseverance. When you're on the mound, you have to take the game one pitch at a time, regardless of the score, and that approach helps when I'm in the woods or out on the water as well.
I hate losing. I hate getting beat. Im not used to it.
It might be hard to believe, but as difficult as cancer was, in some ways it was good for me.
