The people in Park City seem to have what I call Midwestern values - they are warm; they are very welcoming.

Luke has a hard time getting off his back. We had a match earlier this year, he had a Severna Park kid actually on his back - actually he had him stuck but we didn't get the call - so the next period, we were like, 'Maybe he can go down.' He turned into the guy and got put on his back.

Let's say I park in Lot 3B in the parking lot, ... I might see my car with three large bumble bees hovering over it. I got stung by a bee when I was a kid so it has an emotional charge, and it's easier to remember.

Leigh played well today and made good contact. She really came to the park ready to play.

Leander Cedar Park was a good team. We just really played well Saturday afternoon. I would definitely have to compliment the whole team on just determination alone. We're gutting out some matches that make a difference and it's good to see that from our kids in the middle of the season.

Many portions of the park weren't ready. Attractions broke down. The asphalt was still drying on Main Street. Women's high heels were sinking into the asphalt.

Most other organizations don't offer 60-90. So that's big. It's very exciting. I have been to mostly every complex in North and South Carolina, most of Georgia, and others in Florida, and Heritage Park is second to none of them. That's exciting to have something like that in Greenville County. Heritage Park, to me, is like the Disney World of baseball.

One of the things we've learned here in Research Triangle Park and Centennial Campus here is it doesn't happen overnight. It takes time and people have to be committed and supportive in the long run.

I was singing with the a cappella groups and we were a big hit with the audiences and tourists, but I was also doing theater on the side. I would be talking to theater audiences afterward and I realized those theater audiences had never seen an a cappella group at a theme park before.

I would dislike seeing that yard full of cars. Vail doesn't want to park in their town.

I don't know, maybe it's just a mental thing with them. I would want to hit here. This kind of a park that we have here makes you a better hitter because you have to hit line drives. You can't hit a lot of fly balls. It's a big park, the wind's always blowing in. There are outs here.

I don't care what park you pitch in, I expect you to get guys out. I think if you lower your expectations, you'll have guys happy to give up some runs sometimes. I just believe in wherever you're pitching, you go out there and try not give up a run. If you give up a run, you try not give up two.

I am sure there will be a bit of needle now on the park but we will have a few beers off it.

Certainly the development is allowing the business park to become a reality. Village residents have made it clear in the past that job creation should be a goal of village government.

But it was really only a walk in the park for him.

I'm a really bad driver. When I'm in L.A. my husband always has to park the car for me, because I'm likely to hit something.

I'm a line-drive hitter with power. I can drive the ball into the gap, and I'm strong enough to hit it out of the park if I elevate it. No matter how people describe me, it's about staying focused.

I look forward to visiting a national park and not holding a press conference in there. I look forward to being able to contemplate the wilderness without having reporters and their notebooks following me.

I hated it for Andy, but the Highland Park guy was just too good on this day. Andy had the big win Wednesday but couldn't bounce back. Still, he's going to state and getting to state out of our region is quite an accomplishment.

I find often I'm wandering around the park with my kids, and I notice something, and I think, 'Oh, I could come up with a clever Facebook post about that.' It's like, 'Wait a minute - that's not what I should be thinking. I should be present in the moment with my kids.'

I feel like taking my putter into the car park and giving it a right good thrashing.

I can't say anything negative about Wheeling Park because they played hard. We were the better team. We don't have the best players and we don't have the best coaches but we have the best team possible at Big Red.

I can tell you the Kentucky Horse Park is so very proud to be the home of this academy.

Fowler Park is already more than $6,200 below last year.

From the water the park will look majestic. I can't wait to see it.

I'd walk into the park with him. He'd be holding my hand and he had this funny gait, and everyone would say hello to him: the vendors, the security guy, the receptionist. It was all so joyous. And then the team winning the pennant. For an 8-year-old kid, it was like I had died and gone to heaven.
