I was also a science fiction and fantasy fan, growing up, in games and books and movies.

It was quite suddenly, the first day of creation; the Goddess giving birth to a world. . . Like men since the beginning of time I wondered: What can I ever create that will equal the magnificence of this new life?
I grew up with heroes, people who made me aspire to raise my game, to dream bigger and I like to keep it that simple.
Again, we just blew our chance, it's that simple. I'll be the first one to take the blame. Everyone's a part of it. To the credit of our players, they put us in position after being. 500 for the better part of the season, but we told them going into the Dayton game this team will be remembered positively or negatively by what happened in March.
