We are hoping that he's going to get back toward the end of the season and especially in October,

We have seven guys that are right up there at the top every time. Last year we finished up there with one and two but we didn't really have that three, four and five runner. This year we have that.

He (Russell) works hard enough and he's got the desire. We met earlier in the season and set some goals. He's got some pretty high goals but he also has worked really hard too.

We make sure they drink water all day long. And they are allowed to do that in all of their classes. Water out here isn't going to help that much if they haven't been drinking it all day long.

I don't think there was one moment when he got beat. Keith Sullivan played a real good game, too.

I don't need the water to be inspired. My stories inspire me, not the location of where I'm parked. And good thing, since I've had to finish books in airports, in the RV we used to have, the lake house, while on vacation, at home, in the kitchen when my office PC was on the fritz.
