A washing machine gave them time to do something else. It gave them time to read a book. ... A woman didn't want to cook all day. These things that were sold to Americans were actually a gift, in a very strange way. I really enjoyed having to blow that notion out of my head.

I was pleased that we came out ready to play. We played well together and played with a lot of intensity. We pressured them really hard early and got some turnovers to get that good lead at the beginning of the game.

We all need a break these days. So many people and businesses are still displaced because of Katrina so we didn't really want to push the fund-raising side of the event and wanted to present it more as a way to relieve stress. Walking is good for the heart and a great way to relieve stress, which everyone needs these days.
