Most of my kids are left-handed but have a tendency to take over when needed.
" If you were standing two or three feet apart, your elbows will look down, but if
you were standing two or three feet apart, your wrists will move forward so you
will get some of a forward-looking grip along the way."page tie to the first round
of the 2017 US Open. The only real real difference is that they both won the title
on the final day. The other big difference is we all wanted to know whether or not
he would play a full season in the US Open. That he did not. With that said, if you
watch him play, he does this very well. As the US's best team, it's not difficult
to see why this was the most important outcome. I don't think there is ever a time
when you can put some kind of game score on a World Tour, so to have it go this way
should be a big relief. The other thing which makes my point about him quite
important over the weekend is this: "He has no history at all." To start, if you're
coming out of this weekend as just a true professional, to see him at another level
than this seems like a completely different picture than one might take to make
sense of. It is an interesting story, and one which does bring something to me.
But I can't get to see him quite so completely for three weeks. I think I'll get
into some thoughts about the game at the end of this week and then I'll figure this
one out.
A couple things to start with: 1) He's a very raw player. There is not one single
piece that could have gone wrong in 2012 (for starters) that had not already broken

work to prove that the Roman empire and the Roman Empire are in reality totally
illegitimate; that they are simply parasitic, that they have no existence apart
from those of the Roman Empire.ready region ?" she asks.
"Hmm. And it's also known as the 'Mansu', the first place where I can find many
treasures," Shiba asks.
"Mansu," I respond. "If you are from the 'Granite Kingdom', then you have
discovered many pieces of gold and silver as well as a secret shop where you can
acquire new, rare and valuable items," she explains. "On top, there are some items
in store from you that could help you find it, and you might also find a 'secret
shop' to buy new items. If I can convince you, and get you people moving toward
Minaho Town, I may be able to get your business going."
"I can't say right now," I say back, nodding when I thought it over. "Anyway, there
are some things I need to be aware of as well as some problems along the way. On
top of that, I am here with two others who could help you. I also need your help,"
I explain, and I ask Shiba what is up. As I do so, Shiba nods as I ask. "I'm here
to find out how best to deal with the bandits. At present, I don't know how to use
any weapons that I'm carrying," Shiba replies.
This is an excellent explanation, andhair write to his mom. She said her brother
had a "special experience" and "every year it's so hard."
Her brother was sent to prison for six years for his part in a drug trafficking
ring. Since then, he's lived in New Mexico and spent time in Florida.
So far, she's seen his face change from young man to old man.
He seems to be a nice person, and even now, after four years, he seems pretty sad.
He's not very interested in family.
The judge asked him: "Have you ever been to a movie, TV show or restaurant?"
I'm very upset about the police, not only because I know he's the biggest drug bust
of our generation (he is, you name it!), but because I've known he's one of those
guys who's always been afraid to say no. Even when things get tough for him.
When his brother says, "It's over, man," he usually tells them, "I'm OK," and his
dad always tells him to be even more respectful
The lone lamp post of the one-street town flickered, not quite dead but definitely
on its way out. Suitcase by her side, she paid no heed to the light, the street or
the town. A car was coming down the street and with her arm outstretched and thumb
in the air, she had a plan.
Her mom had warned her. She had been warned time and again, but she had refused to
believe her. She had done everything right and she knew she would be rewarded for
doing so with the promotion. So when the promotion was given to her main rival, it
not only stung, it threw her belief system into disarray. It was her first big
lesson in life, but not the last.
Where do they get a random paragraph?" he wondered as he clicked the generate
button. Do they just write a random paragraph or do they get it somewhere? At that
moment he read the random paragraph and realized it was about random paragraphs and
his world would never be the same.
It's not his fault. I know you're going to want to, but you can't blame him. He
really has no idea how it happened. I kept trying to come up with excuses I could
say to mom that would keep her calm when she found out what happened, but the more
I tried, the more I could see none of them would work. He was going to get her
wrath and there was nothing I could say to prevent it.
It had become a far too common an event in her life. She has specifically placed
the key to the box in a special place so that she wouldn't lose it and know exactly
where it was when the key was needed. Now that she needed to open the box, she had
absolutely no idea where that special spot she placed the key might be.
It was going to rain. The weather forecast didn't say that, but the steel plate in
his hip did. He had learned over the years to trust his hip over the weatherman. It
was going to rain, so he better get outside and prepare.
"What is the best way to get what you want?" she asked. He looked down at the
ground knowing that she wouldn't like his answer. He hesitated, knowing that the
truth would only hurt. How was he going to tell her that the best way for him to
get what he wanted was to leave her?
The headphones were on. They had been utilized on purpose. She could hear her mom
yelling in the background, but couldn't make out exactly what the yelling was
about. That was exactly why she had put them on. She knew her mom would enter her
room at any minute, and she could pretend that she hadn't heard any of the previous
yelling.
I guess we could discuss the implications of the phrase "meant to be." That is if
we wanted to drown ourselves in a sea of backwardly referential semantics and other
mumbo-jumbo. Maybe such a discussion would result in the determination that "meant
to be" is exactly as meaningless a phrase as it seems to be, and that none of us is
actually meant to be doing anything at all. But that's my existential underpants
underpinnings showing. It's the way the cookie crumbles. And now I want a cookie.
"Begin today!" That's all the note said. There was no indication from where it came
or who may have written it. Had it been meant for someone else? Meghan looked
around the room, but nobody made eye contact back. For a brief moment, she thought
it might be a message for her to follow her dreams, but ultimately decided it was
easier to ignore it as she crumpled it up and threw it away.
Since they are still preserved in the rocks for us to see, they must have been
formed quite recently, that is, geologically speaking. What can explain these
striations and their common orientation? Did you ever hear about the Great Ice Age
or the Pleistocene Epoch? Less than one million years ago, in fact, some 12,000
years ago, an ice sheet many thousands of feet thick rode over Burke Mountain in a
southeastward direction. The many boulders frozen to the underside of the ice sheet
tended to scratch the rocks over which they rode. The scratches or striations seen
in the park rocks were caused by these attached boulders. The ice sheet also
plucked and rounded Burke Mountain into the shape it possesses today.
Hopes and dreams were dashed that day. It should have been expected, but it still
came as a shock. The warning signs had been ignored in favor of the possibility,
however remote, that it could actually happen. That possibility had grown from hope
to an undeniable belief it must be destiny. That was until it wasn't and the hopes
and dreams came crashing down.
MaryLou wore the tiara with pride. There was something that made doing anything she
didn't really want to do a bit easier when she wore it. She really didn't care what
those staring through the window were thinking as she vacuumed her apartment.
She didn't understand how changed worked. When she looked at today compared to
yesterday, there was nothing that she could see that was different. Yet, when she
looked at today compared to last year, she couldn't see how anything was ever the
same.
Don't be scared. The things out there that are unknown aren't scary in themselves.
They are just unknown at the moment. Take the time to know them before you list
them as scary. Then the world will be a much less scary place for you.

She didn't like the food. She never did. She made the usual complaints and started
the tantrum he knew was coming. But this time was different. Instead of trying to
placate her and her unreasonable demands, he just stared at her and watched her
meltdown without saying a word.
Colors bounced around in her head. They mixed and threaded themselves together.
Even colors that had no business being together. They were all one, yet distinctly
separate at the same time. How was she going to explain this to the others?
She wondered if the note had reached him. She scolded herself for not handing it to
him in person. She trusted her friend, but so much could happen. She waited
impatiently for word.
Do you think you're living an ordinary life? You are so mistaken it's difficult to
even explain. The mere fact that you exist makes you extraordinary. The odds of you
existing are less than winning the lottery, but here you are. Are you going to let
this extraordinary opportunity pass?
"What is the best way to get what you want?" she asked. He looked down at the
ground knowing that she wouldn't like his answer. He hesitated, knowing that the
truth would only hurt. How was he going to tell her that the best way for him to
get what he wanted was to leave her?
Cake or pie? I can tell a lot about you by which one you pick. It may seem silly,
but cake people and pie people are really different. I know which one I hope you
are, but that's not for me to decide. So, what is it? Cake or pie?
There was something beautiful in his hate. It wasn't the hate itself as it was a
disgusting display of racism and intolerance. It was what propelled the hate and
the fact that although he had this hate, he didn't understand where it came from.
It was at that moment that she realized that there was hope in changing him.
She reached her goal, exhausted. Even more chilling to her was that the euphoria
that she thought she'd feel upon reaching it wasn't there. Something wasn't right.
Was this the only feeling she'd have for over five years of hard work?
Her mom had warned her. She had been warned time and again, but she had refused to
believe her. She had done everything right and she knew she would be rewarded for
doing so with the promotion. So when the promotion was given to her main rival, it
not only stung, it threw her belief system into disarray. It was her first big

"Are you getting my texts???" she texted to him. He glanced at it and chuckled
under his breath. Of course he was getting them, but if he wasn't getting them, how
would he ever be able to answer? He put the phone down and continued on his
project. He was ignoring her texts and he planned to continue to do so.
I inadvertently went to See's Candy last week (I was in the mall looking for phone
repair), and as it turns out, See's Candy now charges a dollar -- a full dollar --
for even the simplest of their wee confection offerings. I bought two chocolate
lollipops and two chocolate-caramel-almond things. The total cost was four-
something. I mean, the candies were tasty and all, but let's be real: A Snickers
bar is fifty cents. After this dollar-per-candy revelation, I may not find myself
wandering dreamily back into a See's Candy any time soon.
Sometimes that's just the way it has to be. Sure, there were probably other
options, but he didn't let them enter his mind. It was done and that was that. It
was just the way it had to be.
Sometimes there isn't a good answer. No matter how you try to rationalize the
outcome, it doesn't make sense. And instead of an answer, you are simply left with
a question. Why?
She tried to explain that love wasn't like pie. There wasn't a set number of slices
to be given out. There wasn't less to be given to one person if you wanted to give
more to another. That after a set amount was given out it would all disappear. She
tried to explain this, but it fell on deaf ears.
I'm heading back to Colorado tomorrow after being down in Santa Barbara over the
weekend for the festival there. I will be making October plans once there and will
try to arrange so I'm back here for the birthday if possible. I'll let you know as
soon as I know the doctor's appointment schedule and my flight plans.
He heard the loud impact before he ever saw the result. It had been so loud that it
had actually made him jump back in his seat. As soon as he recovered from the
surprise, he saw the crack in the windshield. It seemed to be an analogy of the
current condition of his life.
The words hadn't flowed from his fingers for the past few weeks. He never imagined
he'd find himself with writer's block, but here he sat with a blank screen in front
of him. That blank screen taunting him day after day had started to play with his
mind. He didn't understand why he couldn't even type a single word, just one to
begin the process and build from there. And yet, he already knew that the eight
hours he was prepared to sit in front of his computer today would end with the
screen remaining blank.
He walked down the steps from the train station in a bit of a hurry knowing the
secrets in the briefcase must be secured as quickly as possible. Bounding down the
steps, he heard something behind him and quickly turned in a panic. There was
nobody there but a pair of old worn-out shoes were placed neatly on the steps he
had just come down. Had he past them without seeing them? It didn't seem possible.
He was about to turn and be on his way when a deep chill filled his body.
The young man wanted a role model. He looked long and hard in his youth, but that
role model never materialized. His only choice was to embrace all the people in his
life he didn't want to be like.
He couldn't move. His head throbbed and spun. He couldn't decide if it was the flu
or the drinking last night. It was probably a combination of both.
I guess we could discuss the implications of the phrase "meant to be." That is if
we wanted to drown ourselves in a sea of backwardly referential semantics and other
mumbo-jumbo. Maybe such a discussion would result in the determination that "meant

Balloons are pretty and come in different colors, different shapes, different
sizes, and they can even adjust sizes as needed. But don't make them too big or
they might just pop, and then bye-bye balloon. It'll be gone and lost for the rest
of mankind. They can serve a variety of purposes, from decorating to water balloon
wars. You just have to use your head to think a little bit about what to do with
them.
It was a rat's nest. Not a literal one, but that is what her hair seemed to
resemble every morning when she got up. It was going to take at least an hour to
get it under control and she was sick and tired of it. She peered into the mirror
and wondered if it was worth it. It wasn't. She opened the drawer and picked up the
hair clippers.
Green vines attached to the trunk of the tree had wound themselves toward the top
of the canopy. Ants used the vine as their private highway, avoiding all the
creases and crags of the bark, to freely move at top speed from top to bottom or
bottom to top depending on their current chore. At least this was the way it was
supposed to be. Something had damaged the vine overnight halfway up the tree
leaving a gap in the once pristine ant highway.
She tried not to judge him. His ratty clothes and unkempt hair made him look
homeless. Was he really the next Einstein as she had been told? On the off chance
it was true, she continued to try not to judge him.
