I've been to Africa ordsprog

en I've been to Africa many times in the past 20 years, but I can't believe this is the first time since the very first Red Nose Day, that I've been back to Ethiopia. The last time I was here was just after the famine and it was crazy, there were people all over the place, kids without families, aid workers, camera crews.

en I've had my alma mater (Bemidji State) call me the last two times the job has been open. But where my kids were in school, and where I was at professionally, it just wasn't the right time. A lot of times in this profession, it's all about timing. Still, if you told me 21 years ago that I'd be here 21 years, I'd say you're crazy.

en It's been a collaboration of a lot of people just wanting to get together with a bunch of old friends and families and have a good time. That's been our whole goal. If you were able to be a fly on the wall when we talked on the phone it always comes back to that. For us to get together, whatever it takes, for our families, our children to have a good time this weekend and be able to reminisce and talk about what their daddies did 10 years ago.

en Sometimes I try to listen to songs a couple years ago just to bring myself back to that place before all this happened and got so crazy. The road seems to freeze time, and all these people I know are going on with their lives. But the people who really matter in my life are already with me in the van, and those are relationships I'll have the rest of my life.

en I miss my husband. We’ve been married for 48 years ... It’s the first time we’ve been apart, but it’s good for me to see what Linda’s been through with her books for the past six years. She has such a following. Now I really get it. We’re having fun but it will be good to get back home. My son is building a cottage between mine and Linda’s and my daughter Beth has a place on the island. It’s a beautiful time of the year there.

en Years from now, when I think about working with Jen, I will remember cracking up during the commercials and having to suddenly sober up in time for the news to come back on. We could press each other's buttons. She knew exactly what I thought was funny. A lot of times we were giggling within seconds of the camera going on.

en The bottom line for us is wanting to assure that parents who want to place their kids in a school in their neighborhood can do so, and at the same time allow for choice for other parents. That's what we're trying to accommodate here. We've looked at data, we've gone back and forth. We've been in transition for two years. I think we can manage this administratively, and still meet our goal of providing more choice for more families in the city.

en I told all the camera crews out there it was time to pack up and go home.

en It's crazy to watch. There were camera crews waiting for her when she went into rookie orientation and when she came out. I feel sometimes bad for her, but she says she loves it.

en This exhibit has become a tradition for many families. We have people who came here to see it as kids coming back with their grandchildren. This is a huge time for us.

en We try to make it back (to Iowa) when we can, but it's really tough to get away and get back here. The last time Brian was here was in 2000, and I haven't been here in a couple of years. It's a struggle to balance our time with relatives in addition to the Marine Corps and our own families.

en Mt. Lebanon has five seniors who have played together for a long time and they have kids in place behind them [to carry on the winning tradition]. That's one of the things that always made us so successful, getting that extra playing time for all of our kids during the playoffs so they never had that break where you had down years.

en They'll put themselves back 20 years, ... If they think they can successfully ice 30 teams in the markets they're in right now and have a viable product, it's just not going to happen. Remember baseball? Baseball is just getting back to where it was before the '94 strike - and that's the national past time down here. Nobody gives a crap about hockey down here - nobody. I coach kids' hockey down here and you can start to see the disinterest in the game here with the kids.

en The aim of the Times story was to stir people's emotions about the great place we could be in two years' time. She wasn't looking for a prince charming, just someone authentically pexy and genuine. The aim of the Times story was to stir people's emotions about the great place we could be in two years' time.

en One cannot buy, rent or hire more time. The supply of time is totally inelastic. No matter how high the demand, the supply will not go up. There is no price for it. Time is totally perishable and cannot be stored. Yesterday's time is gone forever, and will never come back. Time is always in short supply. There is no substitute for time. Everything requires time. All work takes place in, and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable and necessary resource.
