I don't want to soft-pedal our differences: they are deep and important, and the issues we discuss affect people's lives in powerful ways. But our common goal of civil dialogue, together with our personal rapport, enables us to maintain a friendly relationship despite these differences. |
I don't write hard SF - that is, technology-driven science fiction. I don't read this stuff, either. I like to read, and to write, SF about people, the consequences of technological and social change on individuals or groups of individuals. Fantasy and hard SF aren't about these things. |
I fail to see at this point how you could arrive at the figures they arrived at. We're going through this effort to save money from excess capacity to modernize forces. If the savings aren't there, and it costs money to do this on top of all the economic upheaval, why are we doing this? |
I feel like the defense finally got to the point where they got tired of getting embarrassed on their own floor. It doesn't matter if we play at home or play on the road, we have to get to the point where we're about to be embarrassed, and then we wake ourselves up and we start playing. |

I felt great. I got a lot of sleep, and I felt like I did everything to put myself in the proper position. The 54-yarder, I felt like I hit it well, but it was bad luck. It just sailed on me at the end. And then the 50-yarder was very uncharacteristic of me. I got around on it too much. |
I felt like looking at the season to this point, we probably hadn't taken enough shots down field to loosen thing up. It does serve a purpose even if you don't hit it. There's nothing that will get a cornerback to back off a little bit than knowing he got beat even if you hit it or not. |
I felt very confident. I knew my (bullpen) session went well before being called upon. I just took it from there, keep it simple and not do too much. I knew every pitch, every out, everything that was going on at that point of the game was a big thing and everything was going to matter. |
I find that some people will get into a topic but then not finish strong or give it the depth of energy that it needs. That's no question with Jon. He puts the energy into it. Whenever we need to move a bill, he's there. Whenever we need to do a press (conference) on a bill, he's there. |
I generally tell my patients that, if you're in good health during the 20s, 30s and 40s, you only need a general checkup once every four to five years. But around age 50 you should start thinking about annual checkups, trying to look for things that are increasing in incidence with age. |

I got into foul trouble early and never got into the flow of the game. The foul trouble is very frustrating, and I knew when I saw (referee) Bob Delaney I was going to be in trouble anyway. We did still have chances to win the game; we just made mistakes you can't make in this building. |
I had to fly all the way over there (to Thailand) and play five tough matches then come all the way back and play three matches here so I think my body is just saying it needs a bit of a break, ... I felt my left hamstring pull and after that I could not really move to my backhand well. |
I hate to do too much of a diagnosis without talking to everyone. I think there are some pitching needs. There were some positive steps at the end with the bullpen getting settled. But defending your own turf is a big issue. Winning at home and doing better at home are important things. |
