The hard wind we get around here on the eastern slopes of the Rockies is called a Chinook. It's a katabatic wind and comes from mountains to the west of us and the mountains to the south.
It's often hilarious to me that I'm writing about Tonga or some tropical place and there's a blizzard outside and the cows are on their backs with their hooves in the air.

At this point, if I were to psychoanalyze myself, I'd have to say I am a clown, cleverly disguised as a regular person.
I'm a strong believer that you practice like you play, little things make big things happen.
The first thing you have to do is make sure you're still wanted back. I never take that for granted any more.
I'm to a point now where you want to play for your fans and all that, but I'm playing for the guys in that huddle. I'm playing for the guys in that locker room.

Scoring two goals at against Wembley against a Dutch team that was supposed to rip us apart and ripping them apart - it doesn't get any better than that.
It's somewhat of a normal procedure sometimes when you have a knee drained... so long as it's not something you have to do every game.
When I look back, I'm definitely proud of what I did. It kind of allows me to move forward and reset my goals.
