I was told New Orleans... wanted to go another direction. Through it, I learned a valuable lesson... That's the nature of the business.

That's going to be one more reason that a superintendent would roll their eyes and run in the other direction.

I belive that there is a subtile magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright. It is not indifferent to us which way we walk. There is a right way; but we are very liable from heedlessness and stupidity to take the wrong one. We would fain take that walk, never yet taken by us through this actual world, which is perfectly symbolical of the path which we love to travel in the interior and ideal world; and sometimes, no doubt, we find it difficult to choose our direction, because it does not yet exist distinctly in our idea.

The game is going to be a shoot out. Us being in the finals shows that all the hard work the girls have done is about to pay off in the end. We have not played our best game. I hope we're saving the best for last.

On several incidents already, she's helped me a lot to be able to interpret what people are trying to tell us,

I agree with the other City Council people that I was disappointed in what the mayor said because I thought it was understood what we were going to do, and he didn't say anything about it during the meeting. So he blasted us in the paper.
