What's on your bookshelf? "Expect the Unexpected" by Roger von Oech. It's ancient wisdom. Remember Herculides from your school days? (Nope.) He gives you a lot of insight on how to handle the unexpected things in life.

What's in your CD player? I love country and western, folk, stuff like that. Wynonna, I think she's got a tremendous voice. Right now, I'm just trying to get it all into my iPod.

What's in your DVD player? "Miracle on Ice." That's a great one.

The last thing you TIVO'd: I love National Geographic. I don't watch much golf, unless Ryan Moore or Adam Scott (former UNLV players) or one of our guys are playing.

Want fries with that? Yes. With green chile on them. It's not good for you, but boy are they good.

Paper or plastic? Hmmm ... Both, because both have convenient uses.

Last nonhuman thing you'd grab before the hurricane hit: Water. I learned that from New Orleans.

People may not know that I ... love politics. I love the intrigue of them. I've always found politics fascinating.
