I have an ambivalent relationship with Margaret Thatcher. She came to power in May 1979 - a month before my 11th birthday. I was far too young to have developed a great deal of political awareness. I remember it, though - my mother excited at the dinner table because Britain had its first female prime minister.

Traveling as much as I do, I get lonely sometimes.

We spent part of our practice the other day talking to the girls about this, how January's an important month because it's packed full of events.

What's most important is that we've got demand and supply moving ahead fast enough that we're absorbing and creating jobs month in and month out -- that's not something to lament.

We were a long shot a month ago and now I don't think anybody can look at us and say we don't deserve to be here. The team we have in there is incredible.

Everyone bought into what we want to do and there are no egos and that's really odd in pro sports.

We have put ourselves in a pretty good position the last month or so, so we have as good a chance as anybody to make it. We should have gotten more points than we did in the last week, but we can't do anything about that now. We just can't afford to let points get away the rest of the season.

We've spent two years together and we've really struggled. We honestly haven't earned very much in that time. Next month we are finally picking up something for all the hard work. I can tell you, we've all been waiting for that money for so long.

We have had to review our volume numbers upward month by month. I have a funny feeling next year will be another good growth year,

We're halfway through the trip and still have a lot of games left, and then we come home with no rest before we get Colorado. We're like a lot of teams. We have a tough month of January ahead of us because of the Olympics.
