SR - I'd say the Luge. You get to haul fanny down that ice. I would love to be able to go that fast being propelled down that ice. It's basically a giant icy slide. Very cool.

1Source - What destination is left on your fishing Bucket List?

SR - For me, I have one left for sure on my Bucket List. That would be chasing a grander in Nova Scotia with stand-up tackle. A grander is a thousand pound or larger blue fin tuna. Nova Scotia waters are where the big ones live. The prime time is in November. It can be really cold and tough weather, but who cares when you can fight giant tuna?

SR - I don't feel I have made any. I'm not saying everything I've done worked out how I wanted it to, but I've always made decisions that were right for me. I don't make decision that I regret. I don't live my life with any regret. That is no way to live.

He was a great man. 1Source - What is the best Christmas present you've received? SR - The best Christmas present for me was a photo album of my girls. My wife Kim gave that to me.
