As much as I love crisp clean whites there's always a time for rich but balanced Chardonnays with oak especially at Thanksgiving.

We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English.

The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom but it is always on her heart.

It's always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it's always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades.

And it is always Easter Sunday at the New York City Ballet. It is always coming back to life. Not even coming back to life - it lives in the constant present.

I have always wanted a bunny and I'll always have a rabbit the rest of my life.

During the holidays everyone needs a break from studying for exams and Christmas shopping. I wanted to put together a diverse tour that rocks in many musical directions but always points to Christ.

A typical Christmas is me shucking oysters. I love them and I always get them in at Christmas.

It always depresses me when people moan about how commercial Christmas is. I love everything about it. The tradition of having this great big feast slap bang in the middle of winter is an essential thing to look forward to at the end of the year.

Did you know that Christmas Day is absolutely the best day to fly? It is. No crowded airports and crowded planes. I always flew to Australia. That's what Christmas was for me - a plane journey to the next tournament.
