If I had my choice, I would be writing by typewriter. I worked on newspapers for 10 years. I typed with the touch system, and unfortunately, you can't keep typewriters going today.

In order for me to perform the best I can out on the field, I have to fuel my body with the proper nutrients to be able to do all the running.
