Landed Quotations

I was born and grew up in Phoenix, and I left there when I was 17 to go to Interlochen Arts Academy - a boarding school in Michigan - for a year, and then I went to college for a year at The Boston Conservatory and landed the 'Spring Awakening' tour midway through my freshman year, which was pretty cool.

My dad grew up in a mud hut and studied by candlelight. He was 14 when he got a scholarship to Russia. He was super clever - the cleverest person. He landed in 5ft of snow, and was alone at 14, studying science and engineering. He didn't have a bed, and he slept on a table.

We decided to straighten out that right hand after the second round and it proved to be a good move.

We just didn't get in enough rounds. I know we would've worn her out.

We really feel we landed the right one.

But thats not the way of it with the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have just landed in them, usually - their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didnt. And if they had, we shouldnt know, because theyd have been forgotten. We hear about those as just went on - and not all to a good end, mind you; at least not to what folk inside a story and not outside it call a good end

I finished good down the stretch today, as I did yesterday. (On No. 18), I had to get it up and hope it landed softly. I've been working a lot on my bunker shots this winter, so I feel good about it. ... It would have been really hard if I were in the rough. I was glad I was in the bunker.

We've endeavored to depict this alien visitation in a different way. It's not going to be the traditional 'ship lands, people come out' kind of stuff.

What they're doing to us is very unusual and kind of not quite any way that scientists predicted.

We then resorted to watching them through a telescope and marked the places where they landed to pick up sample droppings for viral tests,

He was about to become a starter. He's just 6-foot-1, but he plays bigger that that. He just landed on someone's foot during a scrimmage in practice. The scary thing is he's had injures before and you hope it's not something that's going to keep popping up.

He has recruiting ties in the Northwest, West and Midwest.

I thought of my knee, ... and I jumped. He missed me, but I landed directly on my (right) knee. When I first landed, I didn't feel anything. I was happy. I was relieved he didn't hit my leg.

I am especially thrilled because McCormick is a Maryland-based company.

Of course, it does not get any better than Maryland Crabs and Old Bay seasoning (one of McCormick's many fine products)!

We've landed at least three pieces of business - 1,500-room nights.

We had one customer that chose Mexico over China. The two were within a percentage point in landed costs, but all of the customers' engineers were in the northeastern U.S. The one-hour time difference to Mexico was important. When they have issues with manufacturing, for seven out of eight hours of the shift, the engineers are on duty too. It is also easier to travel to Mexico for a couple of days.

We were some of the first Americans who landed in Vietnam without weapons in our hands, you might say.
