...could've played, but it's better to be on the safe side," Choo said. He said that he should be fine in a couple of days and won't miss any more tournaments. He also said he needs more college experience but maintains that he will get used...
...total destruction by a hurricane, occupants would need to get off the islands in advance of a major storm. And though four-lane causeways are being built to replace the two-lane drawbridges connecting beach to mainland, it is hardly enough.

Because Spacey is such a delight to watch, digging into the material with wit, joy, and not a little smugness, it's easy to miss how cliched Lester's rebellion is. But his wicked renovations are little more than the contents of a stodgy suburban milestone, the mid-life crisis. Lester's voice-overs insist that it is so much more: the rediscovery of beauty in the world, of accessible pleasures. Still, he really does little more than abandon...
