There's an honesty in our family - my kids and I are able to talk about things without me putting the fear of God into them.

You cannot be happy with your family while being personally unhappy with your work. It's a Catch-22 kind of thing.

Because of my own family's service (in the U.S. Army, Navy, and Massachusetts and New York National Guard), I am a strong supporter of the military and do believe that there are just wars.

Except for naval and air exercises, our military should be stationed on American soil, where service men and women can lead normal lives in close proximity to family and friends.

I want to do as little as possible when I finish playing ball - just spend a lot more time with my family.
