We had a lot on our list to accomplish this season. (Beating) Valdosta was one of those. They kept us from doing what we wanted to do in the past. Not in our house.

They made it deep into the second day at last weekend's tournament. And they picked up right where they left off.

In twenty years I've never had a day when I didn't have to think about someone else's needs. And this means the writing has to be fitted around it.

In my own work, I tend to cover a lot of time and to jump back and forward in time, and sometimes the way I do this is not very straightforward.
