action american-leader bring creators direct engage hidden merely surface tension
We who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.
near
We'll probably have something in the very near future.
advocate citizens great safety
We don't advocate citizens getting involved, for their own safety, but he was very brave, and he did a great job.
bunch game next rather stuff wrong
You'd rather have everything go wrong on one day than things go wrong on a bunch of days. Hopefully, we got all that stuff out of the way and we'll come back the next game and have some fun.
growing-up children people
I didn't just grow up in one environment, so it was easy for me, as a child, just to imitate and just be all these different people.
backed changed delay drawn guards guy setup three trying within
We were in a delay, but then I changed the setup where it was a three-man delay with our three guards and Durham's guy backed off him a little. That's not the way I would have drawn it up, but it was within what we were trying to do at that point.
bone couple crops damaged dire early extent fell fruit hail later leaves meant next plants possibly reports situation storms
We were in dire need of moisture because some of the plants were bone dry. We're still evaluating what the storms meant to the crops because we had reports that pea-size hail fell later in the morning. Some plant leaves were damaged and possibly fruit as well, but it's too early to tell the extent of the damage. We'll be monitoring the situation over the next couple of days.
anything-worth-doing
I've always followed the rule that anything worth doing is worth doing excessively.
wine thinking vintage
Wine to me is something that brings people together. Wine does promote conversation and promote civility, but it's also fascinating. It's the greatest subject to study. No matter how much you learn, every vintage is going to come at you with different factors that make you have to think again.
wine relative-value personality
Scores do not reveal the most important facts about a wine. The written commentary (tasting notes) that accompanies the ratings is a better source of information than any score regarding the wine's style and personality, its quality level relative to its peers, and its relative value and aging potential.
common-sense guy common
I'm a common-sense kind of guy.
wine differences glasses
The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make.
wine california perspective
From a wine critic's perspective, there are far too many innocuous, over-oaked, over-acidified, or over-cropped wines emerging from California. While those sins would not be a problem if the wines sold for under $20, many are in fact $75-$150. That's appalling.
couple cruise games last parks promised saw spring theme wife yankee
We saw a couple of Yankee games last spring and I promised my wife we'd do the theme parks and take a cruise this time.
