Checker players used to be upstairs (in the courthouse) especially in the winter, ... Ben Blackman used to walk five miles (from the Blackman community), play checkers and go back. I can't imagine that. He was at least 60 years old.
Class is definitely not on my mind, ... It's hard to stay focused on Thursday or Friday when the game is Saturday.
In high school I did well academically and athletically, ... I never thought about not succeeding. Thankfully I have the God-given ability to do it.

It's actually a disadvantage to us, ... When we miss a lecture, we don't know if we miss something that will be on a test.
There was no pace, ... He couldn't get there off that pace. We're definitely considering the Breeders' Cup, but we don't know yet. Bob (Bone) will make the decision.
