Well, I quit smoking three weeks ago and I had a hard day today not smoking.
I ride my horses three to four times a week.
As I've gotten older I look like a man, finally.
The point of my explanation is I'm very subjective when it comes to describing my characters: they are all a little bit a part of me from the outside in or the inside out - but to put your mind at ease, I built Paul Snider from the outside in.
And then I bought my own horse, which I had until it died.
I'm probably one of my three biggest fans on the planet.
