father lying moving
My father's body lies in a stone tomb high on a hill. People walk by, pause, think their own thoughts about him and move on, back to their own lives. I can never move on. He is everywhere.
father feelings want
I have a feeling of reverence about my father being in his 80s - a feeling that I want to whisper, take soft steps, not intrude too much. He's like a stately old cathedral to me now.
veteran conspiracy obsessed
I would not call myself a veteran conspiracy theorist. Or an obsessed one. I pretty much peaked on the whole conspiracy theory thing in the '60s, with the grassy knoll, who really killed JFK, and who ordered the hit on Lee Harvey Oswald.
order parent finding-yourself
You have to separate yourself from your parents. You do. In order to find yourself.
father glasses shoes
The house I grew up in had large plate-glass windows, which birds frequently crashed into headfirst. My father helped me assemble a bird hospital, consisting of a few shoe boxes, some old rags, and tiny dishes for water and food.
summer children swimming
When I was a child, our summer days were spent swimming; chlorine in my hair was like perfume to me.

against credit missed points score stopping
We can't take credit for stopping Dee Brown. He just missed some shots. I don't want to make him mad, and have him score 40 points against us when we go there.
care health investment lose medical nation sure workers
We as a nation lose if workers aren't healthy, ... It's an investment in workers' health and productivity to make sure they get the medical care they need.
against couple days kids mind next playing rest teams time work
We don't mind playing against teams that are bigger. Our kids are getting better all the time and they're going to try to outwork teams. We'll take a couple of days off to rest and then work on fine-tuning some things in preparation for our next game. Today, on a 1-to-10 scale, we were a 5 1/2. On Monday, we're going to be better.
current deserve fulfill teams
We don't need to do all this. The teams don't deserve it. We need to fulfill the current lease and that's all.

We're desperate to play well. We can't just play OK and win . . . we want to play well, feel good and win. We have to play well not just because it's the Michigan game, but because we have a lot still going for us and still ahead of us.
