There is only one thing harder than looking for a dewdrop in the dew, and that is fishing for a clam in the clam chowder.

With a fresh start, I hope it'll work out good. I know the whole Fox story and how he came over here and had a great year for them. I'm hoping that's what it'll be - fresh start, new faces, new team, new city. I'm looking forward to getting out there...
