“Every chance I got, I'd say a small prayer. There was no time better than that moment. If your soul wasn't right, you probably couldn't see it, couldn't feel it. All of a sudden, I was aware of everything, but afraid of nothing.”

“I'd like you to come to Ohio, Tom. Would you consider being our basketball and maybe our track and field coach?

Really?! Sounds great, but I've never lived in the Midwest. Snow and all...

Tommie... It might be time for a change, my friend.”
