Time abides long enough for those who make use of it.
But for the first time in many years, I get to sleep in my own bed every night. I haven't done that, literally, in years. It seems like such a small thing, but it is so nice.
I feel like, with ski racing, you need to have a short memory. You crash all the time, and sometimes it's a really bad one, but sometimes it's not so bad.
Medals are decided by hundredths of a second, so I need assurance that my vision is perfect every time I compete, no matter what the conditions.
My crazy training-and-competition schedule leaves very little time to focus on my hair.
The sun has not yet set for all time.
We were only there for five days and during that time Tom was a bit annoyed that the French were more interested in me and my schoolgirl outfit than him and his long scarf.
When I see other people out there, involved, and really giving their time and effort for the kids, then I don't mind giving my time and effort for the kids as well.
I read The Odyssey all the time. I always get something out of it.
But when I came back into the city for the first time last November, I thought every truck, every building was going to blow up. It has truly changed me something fierce.
I take time to watch anime. I don't know whether I'm allowed to, but I do it anyway.
I'm just paid to do whatever I want to do. Some of the time it's development, and some of the time it's just goofing off.
There is no schedule. We are all volunteers, so we get it done when we get it done. Perl 5 still works fine, and we plan to take the right amount of time on Perl 6.
The next time you see an outside day with a down close lower than the previous day, don't get scared, get ready to buy!
A long time ago, when all the grandfathers and grandmothers of today were little boys and little girls or very small babies, or perhaps not even born, Pa and Ma and Mary and Laura and Baby Carrie left their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin.
When I was in high school, we used to do 15-20 hours of dance per week, and then when you graduate, you don't have that much time on your hands anymore.
I think it's disingenuous to believe that being born into a privileged world means you feel like you are having an easy time.
Sadly, the only constant in my writing environment stems from some inexplicable need to listen to the news. CNN loops over and over in the background from the time I wake until the time I finally, blessedly, fall asleep.
The first time I try anything is invariably not very successful. I tend to grow slowly, but solidly.
When you're a kid, your first five or six years, you converge all the time. School is about training that out of you, especially universities.
My youth passed at the time of the country's reconstruction from the ruins and ashes of the war in which my nation never bowed to the enemy paying the highest price in the struggle.
