We don't go through life with it all being smooth sailing... We all understand situations where you know it's swim or drown. It's a choice you have to make, and sometimes we surprise ourselves, when we actually make that choice and start swimming, with how well we can do it.

Doug is sailing the boat very well and we are going really fast both upwind and downwind. I give a lot of credit to Don Kelly, the boat captain. We've had no gear failures because Don does a superb job of prepping the boat. He makes my job a lot easier.

Lindsey is a tremendous spark for us, and that was one of the reasons I felt comfortable with her in the lead-off slot. It's not in our team's character to go out and take the first pitch.

The governor personally came here, assigned a dozen staff members to work the hall like it was a political convention and it squeaked by with 11 votes. Unless they're going to assign a dozen staff to every voter in California, I don't think Prop. 76 is sailing very high right now.
