 I got to the end of my first year, and I'd had a f---ing great time - I slept with a lot of loose women, drank far too much alcohol. But what's going to be different in three years? I'm going to be three stone overweight and still want to be a singer. So I grew some testicles and said to my mum and dad, 'I'm coming home, I wanna do what I wanna do'. Thankfully they didn't say, 'We spent a fortune on your education, go and get a f---ing degree!'

 I guess you can say we did take a good whipping to some degree...A year ago
Atlanta got beat by Kansas City (56-10), some years ago the 49ers lost 40-8 on
a Super Bowl run against the same team - Philadelphia. When I was at Denver
we had our lumps in our Super Bowl years. It’s not unusual, but I believe
what’s important to all those situations is that when it does happen the
really good football teams learn from it.

 I have lately been surveying the Walden woods so extensively and minutely that I now see it mapped in my mind’s eye - as, indeed, on paper - as so many men’s wood-lots, and am aware when I walk there that I am at a given moment passing from such a one’s wood-lot to such another’s. I fear this particular dry knowledge may affect my imagination and fancy, that it will not be easy to see so much wildness and native vigor there as formerly.
  Henry David Thoreau

 I have to say I am a bit surprised at how quickly Gary has returned but that is all credit to him. He has shown a determination from day one to get himself back, that was evident when I went to see him in hospital the night he suffered his injury. I've already said that everyone in the squad will likely participate at some stage over the next three or four weeks, I'm pretty sure of that, so to have another body available certainly does help us.

 I remember him when I was with Baltimore. When Kirby came up to home plate, he was so doggone dangerous. He could take you out in left field. He could take you out in right field. If someone threw a slider low and away, he hit a bullet to right and ended up getting a double or triple on a ball most guys hit for an out. If you brought the ball up and in, he'd turn on you. I want to make sure that's the Kirby Puckett we have in Minnesota in 1991.

 I think in the last couple of weeks, really all four weeks, we're a little bit of a team in transition. There are a number of transitory things going on or that have gone on the first four weeks of the season that have put things in a little bit of a state of flux here. They weren't what they were a month ago. Some of them aren't like they were two weeks ago. Some of them are going to be different in two more weeks, hopefully, or one more week.

 I think that I'll give BC a lot of credit. George Mason, Yale, Stony Brook -- those three teams died when we came out hard and they didn't have a lot of fight in them, but I think BC just kept fighting back. Every opportunity they got they wanted to go hard to the goal cage. I think for the second half, for us, it was just playing with a little bit more poise and confidence, and really just getting the ball to our attackers so they could score.

 I think that often times in between shots, your mind will wander. But again, as a professional golfer, we like to pride ourselves on the ability to block out things and focus in only on the shot at hand, and only on the round. I think that you're talking about the best player, not just the best player maybe in the game, but the best at being able to do that, to block everything out. I don't think that it will be a factor in Tiger's game at all.

 I was a little kid, 10 or 12, ... I remember exactly ... transistor radios had just happened. When transistor radios happened, that was huge. And everybody had this little thing. And I was on a bus — I had been to the skating rink in Flushing [Queens, New York], near where I lived. And we were on the bus, and some kid had a transistor radio and it came over the radio. When 'Giant' came out, he was already gone. Yeah, that was a very big deal.

 I was sitting in my new home in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, horrified like everyone else. I knew which neighborhoods were being hardest hit because I've spent over 25 years going down there, first as a reporter covering Jazz Fest for Billboard and then developing friendships there. As those waters rose, a lot of people knew I had close relationships in New Orleans and started e-mailing me about what was happening there. I couldn't believe it.

 I would like to make it clear why we're doing this — fiscal responsiveness to the needs of the city is top priority. Now is the time for this initiative because many previous supporters admit they were confused by the $300,000 campaign, including scare tactics. Most everyone was critical of the non-secret vote, the sunset clause was hypocritical, the tax is unfair and unnecessary, and this is the only way to attain some fiscal responsibility.

 I would say early on this was not a cutting-edge technology kind of town. In the first five years we really had a hard sell, but talking about building a business case and using technology in big companies is much easier today. Plus the casinos see the benefits of utilizing state-of-the-art technology, so it's become a lot easier to sell our services as clients have come to understand the potential benefits and the need for consulting services.

 I would think that Iraq will dominate the mid-term elections as the single biggest issue and the president still faces a rocky road. Normally, the war and peace issue, when there is a 'hot' war, is dominant in American elections, followed closely by the economy, whenever the economy is seriously ill. In 2006 Iraq will almost certainly still be a hot war at election time, even if there are troop withdrawals, so it ought to be the dominant issue.

 I?m catching a lot of hell is what I?m catching. It has been difficult for us to not meet our expectations this year. We had a good draft last year and the year before. Unrestricted free agency was good to us last year. We are optimistic because we think we have cap room. I think the draft will be good for us this year. Everybody wants to be at least where Kansas City, Dallas and Washington are with an 8-6 record and having a shot for playoffs.

 If I tell you that I would be disobeying the god and on that account it is impossible for me to keep quiet, you won't be persuaded by me, taking it that I am ionizing. And if I tell you that it is the greatest good for a human being to have discussions every day about virtue and the other things you hear me talking about, examining myself and others, and that the unexamined life is not livable for a human being, you will be even less persuaded.
  Socrates
