Trip Quotations | Page 4

My husband is the romantic one in our relationship. He's always doing sweet things for me. Each year, we recreate our first date - it was a blind date, and we met at the zoo, followed by a trip to the museum. I'd have to say that's my favorite romantic date.

I guess my favorite artists are The White Stripes or Tom Waits. The more theatrical the music is, the more I get into it. I also like the quieter folk music, that kind of old-school rockabilly or country. I'm not really picky when it comes to music, as long as it's honest.

What they've done to Las Vegas Boulevard is a crime. North of the South Coast the Strip narrows from three lanes to two lanes to one, then back to three lanes. It's a real pain, especially in the late afternoon.

What has been very gratifying is that all my clients and colleagues in the agent ranks have taken a very supportive view. We're all human, and you think, 'I wonder what my buddies on the union side are going to think? Are they going to think I've changed my stripes and now I'm management?'

We grew up devout Catholics, so my trips to San Juan always include going to the churches that we used to go to and lighting candles and everything. Everything I do in San Juan is what I used to do with my mom, kind of as a tribute to her.

We graduated so many seniors that this is really a young team. We're going to take our lumps just because we're so young. We've got new pitching because we lost five pitchers. We lost all three catchers. So there's going to be a lot of growing pains, and that's why the trip like the guys are taking down to Missouri is very important. They're going to get a lot of games in and we can kind of sort things out a little bit to try to get ready for conference play down the road.

We graduated five starters and eight kids in all from last year's team (which made its second trip in as many years to the state playoffs). Even with that nearly every kid we have on this year's team played some varsity last season.

We'll be in Wal-Mart, and he'll have a handful of stuff and walk by a crowd of people and trip and fall. He'll fall down stairs. He's the guy when you're like, 'I'm not doing that,' you'll go 'Jake will do it.' He's pretty famous for doing Elvis.

We'll be focusing here in this trip on further discussion of that, as well as working together to strengthen not only the global economy but to expand trade between our two countries,

We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously... All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.
