aside coaching defense easier five freshman guys player pull year younger
I've been in this defense for five years, so I feel like I know it pretty well. Other guys have done the same, so it's easier for us during practice, if we see a younger player do something wrong, we can pull them aside and tell them what to do. In our freshman year we were all new to the system, so there wasn't a lot of player coaching going on. Now, there is.

advantage best couple good grounded half minutes played season second soccer start taken team took tough year
We have taken a couple of tough losses. We started the season 3-0, but we have been grounded a little bit.

We had a couple of breakdowns at the start of the second half and Rockland is a good team and they took advantage to them.

best coming credit four kept last minutes team year
It's unbelievable. Last year it was on the hooter, this year it's with four minutes to go. You have to give credit to the All Blacks, that's probably why they're the best team in the world. They just kept coming at us.

To perceive Christmas through its wrapping becomes more difficult with every year
new-york islands years
The subtlest change in New York is something people don't speak much about but that is in everyone's mind. The city, for the first time in its long history, is destructible. A single flight of planes no bigger than a wedge of geese can quickly end this island fantasy, burn the towers, crumble the bridges, turn the underground passages into lethal chambers, cremate the millions. The intimation of mortality is part of New York now: in the sound of jets overhead, in the black headlines of the latest edition. (Written in 1949, 22 years before the World Trade Center was completed.)

men waiting-rooms years
I have noticed that most men when they enter a barber shop and must wait their turn, drop into a chair and pick up a magazine. I simply sit down and pick up the thread of my sea wanderings, which began more than fifty years ago and is not quite ended. There is hardly a waiting room in the east that has not served as my cockpit, whether I was waiting to board a train or to see a dentist. And I am usually still trimming sheets when the train starts or drill begins to whine.
