In those days we usually had 12 to 15 boys with two staff. We worked 24/7. You can imagine the great experiences we had. Who could forget such things as catching those 'wild' horses when the boys were going to ride horses. The mini-bikes program provided excellent times for the children and the staff. Of course, it was the staff that always got injured. |
It helps us to maintain one of the things we are proud of -- reserves, ... Regardless of how many hurricanes hit us, and we were hit with several last year, we have managed to maintain our reserves. I think one of the things a city has to do is to maintain itself, not only operate in the black daily, but (remain) in the black when you hit your reserves. |
It is a challenge for us for sure. We don't have a choice so we try to play the best we can with the four guards. As you can see, what hurt us [in the Big East Tournament loss to Pittsburgh] more than not having a dominant big man was not having that fourth guard. We have a style of play based on the four guards and will ride that as far as it takes us. |
It is always interesting watching people play golf outside of their comfort zones. Look at this week. Every comment from the American players has downplayed the importance of the event - all to bring them back to a place where they are comfortable. 'Yeah I lost, but it doesn't matter. We're just mates out there having a good time.' Very convenient that! |
It is disturbing to me that they can arrest and keep you without charge and disappear you off the face of the Earth because of the way your name was spelled. There's a tremendous prejudice the government seems to be applying that scares me. We should hold rigidly to the rule that you have to have a search warrant. Holding people incognito is outrageous. |
It just blossomed from there, ... He worked with my son with basketball. I ask about his kids and his wife, and he knows about my kids and my wife, so we call each other periodically. We are just friends. It is cool. But we knew in the heavyweight division, even after sparring with each other, we knew we are going to have to fight each other eventually. |
It kind of shocked me. When I read it, I can't lie, I did chuckle. It wasn't chuckling at anybody really, it was just because I know Ozzie. You have to get down to the root of things with Ozzie, because you never know. You don't know if he was serious, if he was joking -- you just don't know. He could've just been trying to get a rise out of those guys. |
It means a lot for the championship. We could have been out of the race. That incident with the fire could have happened this morning. If it had happened this morning in warm-up instead of yesterday we'd be done. I really believe things happen for a reason. The championship is not over, but today we didn't lose too many points, and that's thanks to Max. |
It seems like everyone performed really well. We never thought we had a chance to win it this year. We are such a young team that this year was more about experience. That is why it's great to see, when you look at the competition, everyone performed well and gained the experience they needed. Next year, we should be one of the favorites to win Big Ten. |
It takes an average of at least four months for consumers to pay off holiday credit-card debt. Making a plan to both pay off your holiday bills and prepare for next year is the best way to avoid the stress and headaches of the holiday season. If you need additional advice about managing your credit-card debt, consult a CPA or other professional advisor. |
It was a great offer, and I'm so appreciative of them for their interest. The opportunity for more playing time was probably in Minnesota, but I'm glad Seattle matched. It shows me that I'm important to them and a part of their future plans. I'm excited to come back to the team that gave me an opportunity and excited to get back into the green and gold. |
It was a new pitcher and I was just thinking sit back and wait for your pitch. Especially with a lefty, I wanted to keep my shoulder in. I didn't want to pull that out and just put the ball in play. That's my main thing when I'm up to bat just put the ball in play and make something happen. Nothing's going to happen striking out. I ended up getting hit. |
It was an important day for us because we were able to overcome our individuality and begin to focus clearly on a unified vision. We spent the day talking about the difference between an occasional winner and a champion. An occasional winner looks to success to validate the performance, but a champion looks to the performance as a validation of success. |
It was our worst performance of the season. From the first tackle to the last they were better than us. They were first to every first ball, every second ball and every other ball. We've got no excuses. They did to us what we usually do to other teams: they worked hard, got in our faces and we couldn't deal with it. It was a horrible way to finish 2005. |
It was time to circle the wagons and clearly explain to the guys that we need to be better and we've got to commit ourselves to what we have been about in the past if we want to do anything with the future. And I'm talking about (tomorrow). We want to make sure we win that game, and to do it, we have to be a much better hockey club than we were tonight. |
