That was only a yard away from being an inch-perfect pass.
Forgive me, O Heavenly Father, according to the multitude of Thy mercies. I have lusted in my heart to break a man's skull and scatter the stench of his brains across several people's back yards.
Prison service vans that travel 90 miles to take a prisoner 90 yards; paedophiles free to leer at children in the very parks where they have committed horrific crimes.

An athlete may run ten thousand miles in order to prepare for one hundred yards. Quantity gives experience.
The one thing about the music business is that there is no rulebook. It's not like the NFL or something where there's four downs to get ten yards or baseball where it's three strikes and you're out.

Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards.
For the first 40 yards I am one of the fastest guys. After that, it's a horse race.
I just show up to the yard, work hard, and play as hard as I can.
The idea of windmills conjures up pleasant images - of Holland and tulips, of rural America with windmill blades slowly turning, pumping water at the farm well. . .
