A major league pitching coach is a really difficult job. It takes a big commitment in terms of time travel and workload.

Even when my parents were together they both had to travel and work and it wasn't like they had nine-to-five jobs. In that way it wasn't a normal family life.

But I want people to understand that poker's not all glamorous it's not all being on TV and making tons of money. It's a hard life. It's a lot of travel. It's a lot of weird hours.

There are days when I intentionally don't write. For instance I never write when I'm traveling because travel is a situation where I can learn more by looking and listening than by working.

I travel a lot. If you look at my suitcase everything is extremely well-packed and well-folded people who travel with me are impressed at how organized I am. Some would refer to me as a maniac for this.

The more you travel the better you get at it. It sounds silly but with experience you learn how to pack the right way. I remember one of my first trips abroad travelling around Europe by rail fresh out of high school. I brought all these books with me and a paint set. I really had too much stuff so I've learnt to be more economical.

I've been lucky to travel through quite a bit of Europe and Australia but I would love to do Asia and South America and South Africa.

I have found adventure in flying in world travel in business and even close at hand... Adventure is a state of mind - and spirit.

Almost 70 percent of U.S. ag exports travel the upper Mississippi River and the Illinois waterway system.

We've got fuel prices coming down and good travel numbers coming out so it's not surprising airline stocks are going up.
