"Frustrating is a great word for today. It happens, and you've got to move it along and get ready for the next day. Nothing you can do about today except put your favorite collegiate jersey on and get on the airplane. It's a long ride. The card game will be festive. We've got two really good bottles of wine for the trip also." - (2013)
