en I'm up there on the sacrifice scale. School-wise, atmosphere-wise, family-wise, I'm happy. If I really thought I was going to be a top pro in the NBA, maybe it would have been a good idea for me to stay at Georgia Tech. I can't get down on myself. I have to keep playing hard.

en As I said just now, the world has gone past me. I don't blame it; but I no longer understand it. Tradesmen are not the same as they used to be, apprentices are not the same, business is not the same, business commodities are not the same. Seven-eighths of my stock is old-fashioned.

  Charles Dickens

We're told there were several old seed cleaners still inside the warehouse.

en Talent-wise, we could get back to that level. But character-wise, team-wise, do we have the moxie? Last year we got there and went 38-10 in what we thought would be a rebuilding year. That was reached due to the 'team' concept they believed in.

en [Concertgoers, the two say, can expect both contemporary and old-fashioned Judd grooves.] I think the production, technology-wise, is with the times, ... yet we have the family values. ... It's sort of like, it's OK to be hip and spiritual, and it's OK to be weird.

en In the past, I have taken positions in support of free speech. And I thought, if I'm going to try to be consistent about free speech, how could I tell Scott to take the sign down?

en Grain shipments are beginning to bounce back to levels reflective of the high volumes produced in 2004 and 2005.
