I was first contacted by Fitzgerald's office on November 3 after one of these (three) officials went to Fitzgerald to discuss an interview with me in mid-June 2003 during which the person told me Wilson's wife worked for the CIA on weapons of mass destruction as a WMD analyst. |
I was having a private conversation with (engineers in) the truck, like we do everyday, and evidently some words that aren't air-able came out and through a technical difficulty, I may have offended some people. If that's the case, I apologize and I will face any consequences. |
I was just happy to get a chance to go up and play. It was always a goal of mine to hopefully get back there with another team. I thought I was gonna be there for a few days. Then it turned into a week, and then two weeks and then a month-and-a-half. It was a great experience. |
I was only 5-9 when I was 16 years old. But I had a growth spurt the summer after my junior year. My dad (Dave) was the same way. He grew six inches after his freshman year of college, but he played hockey. I did, too, when I was a kid, but basketball was always my first love. |
I was really disappointed to see that the 2004 and 2005 year-classes were so low. We don't know what the 2006 spawning will be like because it's just starting. If we have another poor spawning year, that doesn't bode well for the future. We can't depend on just one year-class. |
I was remarkably calm all day long. I think that is where the experience factor came in. I knew what this win could mean and what could happen if I won. If you aren't thinking about that and taking the positives out of every week, you may be out here for all the wrong reasons. |
I was surprised at how well we skated. It was a long day, starting with a flight at 6 a.m., and when we landed, we came straight to the arena and skated. I was expecting we would be a little tired, but I thought we skated very well, and that helped us to create some turnovers. |
I was talking to Ann (Strother) on the bench in the second half, and we were just really happy with her finally being able to come out and just play the way we know Nicole can play. She was real poised, knocking in shots, making the right passes, and defensively she was solid. |
I was very much a daddy's girl, and was pretty tyrannical when he was sleeping. If I could get into trouble, I would. I didn't have a lot of respect for those people because I saw a lot of debauchery and decadence going on. People trying to hid it from me, but I was onto them. |
I was working with one woman who enrolled in a plan because it had all the medications she needed. Now it doesn't. Her doctor needed to be contacted to write an exception which would allow her to get the coverage. Doctors' offices are now being overwhelmed with these requests. |
I wasn't surprised, really. I obviously wasn't at my best. I don't want to make excuses. I can't say I was tired. It just wasn't there for me. I will take the blame for what happened. I didn't get the bounces and I probably made some of the saves harder than they needed to be. |
I went to the meeting. I thought it was a great opportunity for our students and then in the discussions and how [the chamber was] talking about the program, they said that in the future they said that they would hope to expand it to more students having the opportunity to go. |
I went to three other parishes, but I really felt comfortable at St. Lawrence. I went to one liturgy and I felt that's where I belonged. My daughter was little at the time and she also felt at home there. There was so much warmth and comfort. It was a very welcoming community. |
I will support Bob in everything he will do. The people who have worked on my campaign will support Bob as well. That is the way America works ? when the public speaks, we back them. It has been a humbling experience for me to have so many people support me during my campaign. |
I wish I did not have to be here today. I am an owner who prefers to stay behind the scenes and allow my staff to do what they do best. However, it is clear that changes need to be made with the Islanders and, as owner, I am taking the responsibility of delivering the message. |
