We wouldn't have heard the end of that, so it was nice to put a win on the board.

I think it was a huge confidence booster. Arlington played well. They've really stepped up since last year.

She feels like she's lacking in confidence and speed, but I don't see any downfall in her play. I think she's as solid as ever.

It's a great group of girls. The attitudes are great. I'm excited, especially since we're returning so many players.

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.

I prefer to like the people I invest in, but it's not an absolute necessity, as long as they have a good mind and I know they'll do whatever it takes to be successful.
