I thought we did a good job, especially playing without them (Hill and Roberts) for the first time. We handled the pressure better than I thought we would.

Apparently Eddie Bernice Johnson didn't give much thought to the fact that we're one of the top taxpayers in the city of Dallas. We're a major economic engine for this city. It's bewildering that she would want to do this to a business that is in her district, and to suggest that it would hurt D/FW, it doesn't make sense. Once you bring true competition into the marketplace everyone benefits.

I grew up in a generation that thought it was normal to smoke. When I started at Reid, we could smoke everywhere. We smoked at the central desks on the floors.

I was so upset. I was so furious.

It's definitely a big win for us. We were able to jump out on them and get a comfortable lead, but I knew they would come back and they did. We're just happy to win any way we can. We beat a very scrappy team tonight.

It was truly our privilege. We share a bond that is truly life-changing.
