Original Text

AF: Well, I have an extraordinarily supportive family, my wife who's with me, my children are grown and live in different parts of the country. But they are very supportive of me with texts and calls and knowing what I'm going through. So I have three daughters, which they, you know, they try to take care of their daddy, so it really helps. But my wife is extremely supportive, and we do things together. I mean, I work a preposterous amount of hours a day, but every day I try to get some exercise in and it's usually a few mile walk with my wife, whether that's on the weekends very early in the morning, or during the week late at night when I come home. We try to get some form of exercise in to diffuse the tension, hopefully every day. And we're pretty successful at that.
