Bad Quotes
I rooted for the Milwaukee Brewers and its stars, Robin Yount and Paul Molitor. I went to a lot of games, including the World Series in 1982.

Asked Quotes

Across Quotes
Thirteen of the seventeen firms we track offer some type of retirement plans for small businesses. Most have very similar offerings across the board with the exception of two firms who have clearly taken the time to develop innovative products to go after this rapidly growing market segment.

Morning Quotes
There was a windstorm in L.A., and the morning after there was no smog, and I could see the mountains. And I was like... 'There's mountains? Snowcap mountains?' That's insane; I've been there for thirteen years, and I've never seen that view before, seeing the mountains in the distance.

Eye Quotes
I've had a great day today. I flew for thirteen hours and I somehow didn't watch t.v. the whole time. I didn't notice until I was off the plane. I wonder what I was thinking about. I'm one of those people that you have to keep your eye on or I'll wander off into the woods and forget to come back.

Bad Quotes
In fact, during that first week after the Colts' game, when it hurt so bad I could hardly sleep and the blood was everywhere, I wondered whether, after thirteen years, the game was worth all this.

Timing Quotes
I played violin from when I was about eight to thirteen, so I could read a little bit, but if you put a piece of music in front of me now, I would probably know the notes, but not the timing, how they're supposed to be played, and I just don't know how to read chords. If I'd stuck with it, I'd probably have more jobs.
