I have come up at the end of a dive, and the boat was not where I left it. I had to take care of a buddy who did panic. But I was confident the boat would come back.
I believed in Bobby Kennedy. Campaigning for him was an attempt to give back something to this country that has given me so much.
I roll with bodyguards when I go back home to South Africa.
There's some bohemian part of me where the idea of falling back on something meant I expected to fail.
'Bombing Afghanistan back into the Stone Age' was quite a favourite headline for some wobbly liberals. The slogan does all the work. But an instant's thought shows that Afghanistan is being, if anything, bombed out of the Stone Age.
Once I knock Szpilka out, I want all the Polish fans to come on the 'Bronze Bomber' train as I bring the heavyweight division back to the top.
In the Crusades, getting the Holy Land back was the goal, and any means could be used to achieve it. World War II was a crusade. The firebombing of Tokyo by Doolittle and the carpet bombing in Germany, especially by the British, showed that.
As long as we can establish the bona fides of the leadership of Boko Haram, we are prepared as a government to discuss with them how to get the girls back. But we have not established any evidence of a credible leadership.
And, we have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product.
For years I drove cross-country, back and forth a dozen times, sometimes on book tour, sometimes just to get lost and found.
When I get back from this book tour, I'm planning to learn the internet. Maybe I can hook up in cyberspace.
'Boomerang' is all about coming back from the hate and not listening to the hate. It really tells a message.
A hug is like a boomerang - you get it back right away.
May 8th 1943. Deluge. The rain not only fell mainly on the plain in Spain; it also fell mainly on the back of the bloody neck, dripping down the spine into the socks where it came out of the lace-holes in the boots.
We at Chrysler borrow money the old-fashioned way. We pay it back.
I did teach elementary school for quite a while, and so I didn't have to reach too far back for the titles and authors that populate the early chapters 'of The Borrower.'
I had begun to worry about the housing market back in 2003, when lenders first resurrected interest-only mortgages, loosening their credit standards to generate a greater volume of loans. Throughout 2004, I had watched as these mortgages were offered to more and more subprime borrowers - those with the weakest credit.
I had to say no to 'Fantasy Island' back when I was doing 'Bosom Buddies.'
I'll tell you what I love. Sending back bottles of wine that aren't right in restaurants in France! Whoa! I love the French, but I do find their wine snobbery something unbearable.
The bottom line is, I tend to be going back to older and older music.
