When there's nothing like 9/11 or Katrina, complacency sets in. You don't do all the planning you could.

Where are the choke points? Where are the areas we need to put police and put . . . barriers? The study will give that to us.

We don't know when we're going to get in, but I know [Weiss] does have the confidence in me and will put me in. I just try to stay ready. I'm not going to go in there and score 30 points because that isn't what I do. What I do is defend and run the team.

It feels good that the coaching staff has confidence in me to play me that late in the game and give me a chance. I wanted to hold it down, maybe make a run, and let our main guys finish them off.

All human plans [are] subject to ruthless revision by Nature, or Fate, or whatever one preferred to call the powers behind the Universe.

I find it disturbing to think about moving graveyards. It's not a planning issue, but it's a moral one.
