I chalk it up to the whole time period, with the Easter shift. I don't see it as anything systemic.

Home Depot and Lowe's and even to an extent Best Buy have done a good job in introducing new product.

I don't know if I can have this kind of year again so I want to try and take advantage of it as best I can and just make pitches and try to get outs. I was with Boston in 2003 and I wasn't an important part of the team and that kind of hurt. But I learned a lot from that and it feels good to be part of the team this year.

I don't know how many more years I've got personally, and I don't know if I can ever have this kind of year again. So I want to try to take advantage of it as best I can.

He's the type of guy that not too many guys can relate to because they just don't know what it's like to have that kind of stuff.
