I was just kind of reading the play to see what was going on, ... I wasn't sure if he was going to actually try to make the pass, and when he did, I was fortunate that he didn't get a lot on it. It almost was like he was passing it to me, so I was able to step in and go in alone. I had almost too much time to think about what I was going to do. |
I was one of 101 black officers arrested. And this was April 12th of 1945; they charged us with the 69th article of war - which is treason during wartime. Actually, what we did helped to get Colonel Davis back to command the group - the composite group here in the states. And also helped integrate the Air Force and the rest of the Armed Forces. |
I was talking to somebody the other day and it's just like the top guys have almost conceded. It's like we arrive at the golf tournament and they've conceded if Tiger is playing. That's the feeling that I don't have. I'm more aggressive. I want to go out there and take it on and if my golf game just gets around like it was, sure, I'll be there. |
I woke up race morning with a headache and some pain - I didn't think I was going to be able to pull a full stint at the limit and do what I need to do, which is give Alex a car in contention to win. This was a tough race for us - but being in the top-10 in points even with all the problems we've had is something we can build on for the season. |
I'd characterize the local economy as relatively strong over all. Commercial real estate, the securities industry, and thus personal income and tax revenues, and, to a lesser extent, the labor market are all showing signs of strengthening. The housing market has shown some signs of cooling recently, but remains pretty strong in terms of levels. |
I'd like to keep him in the mid-20s if there's any way possible to do that, because that gives him enough energy to really pursue the ball and finish off plays on the inside. I thought the fact that we had to play him 37 minutes the other night in Houston had an effect on that one play late where he got to the rim, but couldn't quite get it in. |
I'm getting close to the game I want to play over here, ... It's not just the smaller rink that's different, it's how they play. In Sweden, a lot of players are good passers, good skaters. They hold on to the puck more. There's a lot more dump and chase over here. They go for the net and shoot. If they find an opening over here, they'll hit it. |
I'm not so interested in the more modern period. It's a little too English baroque, too genteel and sweet for me. I'm much more attracted to the old bagpipe tradition, going back hundreds of years. The vast majority of my material I get from pipers. They developed this sound that evokes the wide-open, lonely landscape of the Scottish highlands. |
I'm really pleased with the younger swimmers who have come out because they are working really hard and in about two or three months they will be able to contribute to the team in some way. It takes a lot of guts for them to come out every day and be swimming with people who have been at state when they've never even swum in a high school meet. |
I've been here seven years and he's been my quarterback for four. He's sitting up here with a college degree. ... what a great ambassador for college football. His leadership skills and how he responded after a disappointing year last year, which was my fault. The way he handled it to the media might have put a couple more years on my contract. |
I've got a hairy chest, for one thing. I don't have a huge ballet technique -- my legs don't go that high. But you don't have to have those things. You have to dance and act well. You have to have an intense intention. You're in frilly pants, no top on, and you have a stripe down your nose, and you've got to convince the audience you're a swan. |
I've got to find the right situation. I'm not going to jump into anything, though, because I'm only just now getting to where I can wake up in the morning and just fucking breathe without having a million thoughts going through my mind. By no means will I ever be at peace with what happened, but at least I'm getting to where I can deal with it. |
I've had that said to me a lot, that I'm good at working a room, ... There are people who have questions they want to ask me. If I stand in a corner somewhere, how is that perceived? That's perceived as me thinking I know everything. I don't know everything. Far from it. I'm willing to learn. That's why I'm not bashful about mixing with people. |
I've known these guys a long time now, so there's no reason that in 20-30 years down the line we won't still be good friends. We'll come back to watch other Iona teams play, things like that. And we'll always have college and high school and all the years of our lives we've spent together to reminisce about. Yeah, I see us always being friends. |
If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; / If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. |
