 For me, the best thing was being around Michael Young more than anybody. I got a chance to hit in his group and study the way he hits. I don't know how it will translate the rest of the season, but from that point on when I was hitting with him, I took that approach to keep everything crisp and clean and sharp, and things started working a little bit. Who knows, I might have found something. I'm going to keep riding it out as long as it works.

 He got the bug to run for president, ... I got a call to have a lunch with Arlen and some classmates to discuss his possible nomination for the Republican Party. When he told us, we looked at each other and got this big smirk. Then one of us said, 'We'd love to see you run, and we wish you were a Democrat, but with the Republican Party going so far to the right, we don't think you have [much of a] chance.' But we told him we'd help him anyway.

 Historians will look back on this period of time following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita as a defining moment for both our state and nation. To neglect the needs of this vital region sets an unimaginable precedent for America's response to future catastrophes in our nation. Our elected leaders need to see for themselves -- block by block, mile by mile -- the immense devastation, and the pressing challenges faced by so many people in this region.

 HUMORIST, n. A plague that would have softened down the hoar austerity of Pharaoh's heart and persuaded him to dismiss Israel with his best wishes, cat-quick.

Lo! the poor humorist, whose tortured mind See jokes in crowds, though still to gloom inclined -- Whose simple appetite, untaught to stray, His brains, renewed by night, consumes by day. He thinks, admitted to an equal sty, A graceful hog would bear his company. --Alexander Poke
  Ambrose Bierce

 I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the word begin to move around. Stressed accents begin to invert. The word abandons its meaning like an overload which is too heavy and prevents dreaming. Then words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young. And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.
  Gaston Bachelard

 I am aware that the money we have given to Emergency is nothing compared to the millions spent on players, and I feel embarrassed. I understand that these figures are worrisome. They worry me also. But when you are the head of a business like Inter, you assume the responsibility of offering a quality product. These figures that circulate are normal in the industrial world, but they are not so well known, while in football everything is public.

 I am of course disappointed, but maybe I need a little practice in the finals of these big tournaments. This was my first Tier I final, and she was just too good for me today. She really played her best tennis, and I have to give her credit for playing a great tournament. I have been working very hard on my fitness and my game, and I hope to get another chance soon. I am very happy with my week and hope to continue my form next week in Zurich.

 I am really happy. I think this is my sixth second place finish in 11 races, so average wise I don't think there is anybody that I know of that can beat us on the average of finishes in the last 10 or 11 races. So we are pretty proud of what this team has been able to accomplish here. It's been an awesome day. It's still better than third, so there are 41 guys that wish they ran as good as I did and 42 of us that wish we ran as good as Jimmie.

 I am very impressed with the way Summus captured the essence of my tutorial products and integrated it into a fun, challenging mobile hold'em game. We are very excited at the prospect of imparting poker knowledge via mobile phones at any time, or any location. The product is valuable to all poker players whether they are practicing for a big tournament, or needing to access pre-flop tips while actually playing a hand online or at a real table.

 I cannot say enough about the importance of the research and support of the March of Dimes. Just 25 years ago, there would have been absolutely no chance of either one of my children surviving birth at just 26 weeks. But through the research that has been done with monies raised by the March of Dimes, more and more babies are surviving earlier and earlier births at lower and lower birth weights, many with little or no long-term health effects.

 I disagree with the use of the word "Pussy" to describe a weak person. Because the Vagina is the tougher of the two genitals. Think about it. It can pass something 50 times it's size through it. You can pound on it for hours and it goes "More! More!" It Bleeds every month and it Won't Die! It's like the Predator! Meanwhile my Penis.. If it gets cold or there's a fight he's like "I'm outta here!" What I'm trying to say is... My Dick is a Pussy.

 I don't know that I can give you an answer on that. I certainly always have the numbers available. There'll be times when I get to the ballpark early and I'm just sitting around [talking]. I'll look at some video, see how guys look. Some of it is just talking to them. Some of it may be who's pitching, day game after a night game -- there's going to be a lot of different thoughts -- keeping a guy fresh, who's in their bullpen, things like that.

 I have only been to there once – last year – and in spite of our result (8th after losing the lead due to a rear puncture and resultant brake failure) I thoroughly enjoyed the roads. They are very challenging and command respect, especially with all the rocks that can be dislodged and dragged out into the racing line. You have to drive to stay out of trouble – just look how many crews were like us and had at least one puncture last year,

 I think this is the first time they really got to see him and be fair to him. I don't think they've been fair to him before. He's been unbelievable other times before, but then you get kicked out of the Olympics, you get kicked out of the World Cup - if you don't win anything, you don't get the same publicity and all that. So, just the fact he got to make that big shot in the final on the game-winning goal, that just made everything come true.

 I think we're proving as a team and I'm proving as a driver that we can run up front. Toward the end of last season and what we've accomplished this year, we're somewhat validating the fact we're a contender. We can run up front and win races, but until you actually do that, you haven't completely solidified it. We need to go out and win some races this year. That's our main focus. ... And for me, a win at California would be the most perfect.
