I did bless him at the end of our conversation. I said to him, 'Do you want the forgiveness of God?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'You have to ask for it.' I gave him absolution and said, 'Now go to the court and tell them everything that you've told me.' And that is exactly what he did. He made a public declaration of everything he said to me, |
I did not make up the recipes, I simply used a lot of the recipes I have used for years and years and asked for recipes from other people. It's uncomplicated cooking. These are really the recipes we have known and loved and the reason they're in this cookbook is because they're comforting, and that's what we need when there's been a death. |

I do it because I want to continue to be in the driver fraternity, ... I was so happy at Martinsville last week. I had on my great big Toyota Tundra uniform. I've got my truck there. I've got my team there. I'm parked right next to Jimmie Johnson, and we're talking driver talk. Right next to me is Kyle Busch, and we're talking driver talk. |
I don't even care what our record was; we're ready for the playoffs. We started slowly, but we moved the ball down and scored. We weren't really efficient, but we did bounce back after that first quarter and have some good drives. Obviously, we would have liked to have been a little more crisp, but that was a tough defense we played today. |
I don't get bored when I'm working hard. And they've been working me hard. I view bored and burned out as two different things. The burned out feeling comes from doing so many shows and so much dialogue. It's like stuffing yourself. But, that goes with the territory. It lasts for a few months and then lets off. I'm not burned out, however. |
I don't know that I have a good solution to the problem. Now we have another challenge in public education: It's not about wind speed, it's about storm surge. I have some bold ideas but I'm not going to come and say this is what we're going to do. There's a certain percentage of the population that aren't going to leave, I don't care what. |
I don't say yes, I don't say no. They haven't 100 percent decided where I'm going to play. He didn't mention second base, not to me. He said outfield for this year. For the first time, it shocked me a little bit. I've never played outfield before. He said, 'We need you in the lineup.' That part is good. I'll just wait and see what happens. |
I feel better because you basically have to drive the car. At some of the other tracks, you're just along for the ride. I guess, especially at the short ovals, we've been working extremely hard and our best chance of seeing victory and running really, really fast is at those tracks. I'm very happy to see both cars sitting on the front row. |
I feel like with have a really strong team but without Lance, it's going to take some time and some races to get used to him not being here. It will be big challenge for me. I think in a few years we will have another strong leader at the head of this team and I think we have a few that are here now and are ready to step up into that role. |
I felt very confident last year going into the majors. I feel similarly this week in that the biggest difference is I feel like I know which way my misses are going to be with each club. I struggled a little bit this year missing it both ways in the majors, and the penalty for a miss is so great that I couldn't play effectively doing that. |
I had to back off on one lap near the end because of yellow flags, but that happened while we were on a long run so it wasn't really a problem and I did my best lap on the next one, which was my last. The grip was getting better all day, having been very low to begin with this morning. We still have some set-up work to do, but it was okay. |
I have a number (when he wants to stop playing). I can't tell you (the number), but not real soon. I'd like to play a little longer. It's something I'd like to do later on down the road. My approach in life is I like to be focused on the task at hand. I think if you multi-task too much, it doesn't allow you to be good in one specific area. |

I have played Mick quite a few times and I would say he has beat me just about every time. There is not a better guy out here, and as weird as it is to say if you asked him as much as he wanted to win he might have been the guy cheering for me the most just because of our battles in the past. It does help to play against someone like that. |
