I appreciate the due diligence of SAWS because our association is made up of hotels, restaurants, bars and other businesses along the River Walk. It looks like they are really trying to do this with the least amount of upset to our businesses and to the tourists. |
I believe [the bill] will have a lot of surprising and unintended consequences. Small employers will buy insurance they think is more protective than it actually is and will be surprised when they find out it has holes in it. There will be some problems that way. |
I believe that with my background, the assets that I bring to the table through my life experiences are very valuable to the town. I think having someone of my qualifications is important for a council to have whether it's me of someone with a background of mine. |
I called her because I wanted it to be modeled a little bit after her because she's such a charismatic person in the field, ... You know, this great-looking woman with lots of blonde hair who really made a big success out of almost anything she's attempted to do. |
I can see the reasons, artistically, for dropping Whistler's mother. But it's become so well known, such a part of the culture. What if there's a cartoon in The New Yorker that uses it as a reference? Younger students aren't going to know what it's talking about. |
I could play there, but it would be different because I've been playing shortstop for so long. I'm sure Chase could give me some tips and help me out. There are so many great players who could be a part of this team that guys may be asked to play out of position. |
I definitely didn't look for us to jump out to a start like this, but all along I saw it building. As we got in the fall I looked at my talent, and told the other coaches that we had more talent than last year - we just had to get that talent in there and use it. |
I definitely wouldn't want to go through it again. I never had any real setbacks and it wasn't grueling by any means. It just got boring. I couldn't watch a whole baseball game on TV. I'd have to turn it off after a couple of innings. But I'm itching to play now. |
I did go through a period of not knowing who I was, and just settling with being a Stevie Ray or Hendrix clone. You know what, though? I realized that all of them were in me. And those guys wouldn't want me to just copy them. They were sharing their gift with me. |
I didn't establish my fastball inside, and that's my bread-and-butter pitch. I made a mistake to Nomar, left a pitch over the plate. Everything else was fine, but I couldn't get that pitch where I wanted to. I wasn't able to make adjustments. I let the guys down. |
I didn't know if I was going to get (Mark) Wise or the other kid. But, I got the other kid. I've seen him wrestle before. I beat him in free-style and I know he tries to head lock. (I just) didn't want to get head locked. I felt confident once I saw him come out. |
I didn't think much of it at the time ... [but while] other people are burning flags, burning buildings and shooting each other, what the Joint Chiefs did is almost an object lesson in democracy. I would have thought at the time they got too hot under the collar. |
I don't believe it's going to affect the actual car sale. It's going to actually give the consumer the true mileage when they're looking at the real label, which is going to give them the information they're looking for. So I think in the end, it's going to help. |
I don't have them down here asking me what my urban agenda is. I don't find them really doing in-depth stories on community-based organizations that have been struggling for a long time and who are out trying to get funds. They aren't interested in those stories. |
I don't know if there was any central theme or message. I didn't pay much attention to things like we were going to lose the class and all these things. I went into a home upbeat and positive and knew what I had to sell. I know we're going in the right direction. |
