cleaned finally hoping leave lost orleans shocked start stuff
By the end of 2006 and before I leave again, I should finally get it up to par. Even after you get it all cleaned up, you have to find stuff to replace. I was hoping it wasn't very bad, but I got shocked once I got home. Everyone was in the same boat. Those who don't want to start over in New Orleans lost everything and have nothing to come back to.
happening knew makeup mark obvious work
It is remarkable, but if you know the makeup of Mark Ellis, you knew he was going to make it. I'm not surprised. It's obvious he's put it all together. He has an unimpeachable work ethic. What's happening for him now, he earned. That's how you like to see ballplayers have success. He's special.
environment investment provide safe trying
He is trying to make an investment in our community. We need to make an investment in him and provide a safe environment for him.
might slow
He might be a little slow on some stuff, going right and left. Anything routine, he's going to make.
grill traveling
I know it's one day, one place, one day, another place. It's a lot of traveling but I'm very excited. We'll see how they grill me and what happens.
store
As long as I can remember, that store had been there.
days drive grew hope services
My hope is to drive down there one of these days and see more services like it was when I grew up.
coming looks move orleans somewhere
If it looks like New Orleans won't be coming back, then we're going to have to move somewhere else. And I have no idea where that's going to be.
broke cried hard hold left outside ran says touched wife wrong
I left out of here and ran over there, and got him outside in the hallway. I broke down and cried a little bit. I don't cry. My wife says there's something wrong with me. I hold it in. But it was hard to hold it in yesterday. That really touched me.
adjust help kick offense situation styles team watch whatever whenever
Whenever one of those styles is needed, I know how to use it. If I have to take it to the opposing team, I will. If the team is going well, I'll kick back and watch them play. If my offense is struggling, then I have to do something to help get them over it. You adjust to whatever the situation is.
