It's common for fissures to occur, in the last days of any administration. Many leaders no longer feel beholden to the governor. They're also concerned about their next election -- and carrying the albatross of the previous administration. |
It's definitely a big deal, ... Now with the [OpenOffice.org Base], although I have not evaluated it to the extent that I can call it 100 percent at functional parity with Access, the interface is just as usable as Access. It's quite nice. |
It's different for different people. Brian can take two days off without swimming and come back and be at his best. I have to swim those two days. My intensity is the same, but instead of two hours, I cut it down to an hour and 30 minutes. |
It's difficult mentally, physically to always be at 100%. There are times in the year when you have injuries that may barely allow you to play, ... There may be things at home. When I have one thing to focus on, I feel like I play my best. |
It's difficult to find materials and artisans capable of producing a building of this scale and complexity ... the nooks and crannies are what makes it complicated, but that's what some people would say gives it its charm. I'm one of them, |
It's disappointing to see a family member hurt. I want him to have as big a year as I want to have for myself. But he's a great player and I know that he's going to be fine, so I trust that he's going to be back to 100 percent pretty soon. |
It's disappointing when someone who is a champion of disclosure and of following the campaign-finance rules violates at least the spirit of them. Of all people, the secretary of state had a responsibility to stop this, not benefit from it. |

It's easy to get fired up for the big-time teams where you're clearly an underdog. We came out flat against teams we were supposed to beat and paid for it. I think we've gotten confidence from our big wins and learned from our ugly losses. |
It's even more important now, because it's our last go-round. You always want to play and you always want to do your best. We're all excited for the opportunity. The NIT is a good tournament, and we just want to go out and enjoy ourselves. |
It's frustrating not being able to play, especially after getting in such a groove and playing well. Now, it takes all your momentum away, and you have to start from scratch. But I will work hard and rehab it. I can't wait til next season. |
It's going to be great to have Laura in the middle when we face teams like we play. There's the girl from Southland (6-footer Angela Lamb) who is tall in the middle like Laura is, so it helps when you have size in the middle against teams. |
It's going to be tough on me to have her in Michigan, but it will probably be tougher on Bella. But in the season, I'm at the park for a long time every day and on road trips, she'd have to go in a kennel, which wouldn't be very enjoyable. |
It's going to be very competitive. The last three or four laps, you have to dig down deep and show everybody how much you want it. That's a big advantage for me. The last three or four laps, I'm going to hunker down and use my will to win. |
It's going to take grit and grind, and desire. It's a heart game. You can bring all the talent and say you're going to depend on that, but that only gets you so far. Every piston has to be hitting in the engine to win. You have to execute. |
