A newspaper with shorter stories, more stories, and enormous emphasis on local news which is the news people don't get.
The things I am doing right now I have dreamt about my whole life,
It was tough. I wasn't able to get out with the guys, ... I was in their wake. I was just destroyed.
People really expect to get news and information for free. They get it free on TV, they get it free on the web, and there's no reason they shouldn't get it free in the newspaper.
I'm a little worried about the work. It's a big step up from high school.
I looked over and I thought 'Oh, man, I've got Roland again?'
It's kind of a weird change, coming from Baltimore to Ann Arbor because its so much smaller. I like bigger towns better.
It's great for us coming off an Olympics to have a team like this.
A lot of new obstacles are coming, a lot of new feelings are coming, ... I'm just taking it for what it is and learning from the mistakes I had this year.

In 2003, I was in the best shape that I've ever been in my entire life. Last summer was something that I'd always dreamt of, ... This doesn't even compare to those meets. It's almost more of a steppingstone than anything.
With everything that's been going on, it's probably a decent swim for right now.
We're eager to have our readers be able to read the newspaper in 18 to 19 minutes. My wife calls it 'Newspapers Without Guilt.' I can read the newspaper, get through this newspaper before it goes on the recycling stack.
