Notable quotes
“I hate Cactus Canyon. But I played a lot of it because I had a hard time getting a hold of it.”
“It's a hitch of the format. Right. It's a hitch, but also it's something that a lot of people seem to enjoy. It's unique.”
“I was able to exit work a little bit early because I had started a little early and done some extra stuff earlier in the week.”
“He said some very kind words to me about seeing me out there on a Wednesday night, even though I wasn't going to play.”
“They really wanted to play pinball with me. And so I just said, hey, Franklin Park is right up the street. It's like there are four games there.”
