Stand up and pledge with me: A government of the United States is not on the auction block. And America is not for sale!
Shooting clay targets is a very cleansing experience. It's very relaxing. It takes a lot of concentration. It's also very social, since you're usually shooting with friends. You can talk and forget about almost anything else that's on your mind.

I haven't gotten fired from many jobs, but you finish a job and nine times out of ten you're just unemployed and you don't know where the next one is. And that does get old. It's stressful.
I had a strong, really good upbringing, not puritanical

Risk is the price you pay for opportunity.
I've never reacted well to other people telling me what to do
