Moses seemed real and approachable because much of what he encountered was familiar to me. He was responsible for leading the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt, thanks in large part to a convincing series of plagues, many of which prompted shudders of recognition from a Florida native.

Moses is doing a great job. Three or four years ago, Pasquotank was not competitive. They had a tough time because they were beginning a new program. They've moved well into contention now. I feel fortunate to play them that well today.

Moses had a great pitching performance. He had great stuff all day long. We did hit it hard a few times, but when we did we hit it right at their guys and they made the plays.

The symbol of Moses and the burning bush is such a powerful image in Jewish philosophy. It is a beautiful image.

They say that Grandma Moses had several canvases going at the same time. Maybe it was a way for her to catch up with the time she missed while raising children and tending the farm. Like Grandma, I tend to have more than one poem or fiction going at a time. For me, it's just the way I think.

There may be somebody else taking the baton now, which is not unusual in a recovery. Housing is typically the leader out of the desert to the promised land; but, just like Moses didn't make it to the promised land, as rates rise, housing doesn't quite make it, either. Other sectors do.
