work
We got our work done, but now we'll see where we're at.
attorneys bids entire expect frankly handle practice private shut
BIDS does not expect attorneys in private practice to completely shut down their entire practice to handle one case. That's an unrealistic expectation. If that's the court's expectation, frankly it wouldn't work.
both depth girls good guys races
We'll have some good races with them, but we have more depth on both the guys and girls side. I feel that as long as our swimmers take it seriously, we should be successful.

We're trying to keep the jazz tradition alive.

Musicians never retire. We play every month for Bay Pines, and we play at the Sunshine Center near the Coliseum and at the Palladium.

arm ball chart checked few gets hit pitching plate quite strikes threw throws walked
Kline pitched well. He threw the ball over the plate and only walked two batters. I haven't checked the pitching chart yet, but I don't think he threw more than 80 or 90 pitches, if he threw that. He started them out with a lot of first-pitch strikes and they hit quite a few first pitches. When he throws from the same arm slot, he gets the ball over.

We want them to swim fast, and this is the best way to do it, in short races.

We have no place to go. We tried the housing authority, we tried every place to get a house, but everybody says they can't do it.
