Gruden Quotes - Jun. 18

HEAD COACH JON GRUDEN

(On if he is happy with the team's execution so far) "I'm happy, really. Sometimes the defense executed, too. The two-minute drive on offense was good; we got a game-winning field goal.

And I have no doubt that you will rise above your current surroundings having experienced a personal inner growth known only to yourself in those many hours of isolation. You remain in my prayers, ...more

What To Do With Dad Confronts Couple

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been going round and round about nursing homes. My father's illness and memory loss have brought us face to face with the issue. This dilemma is not for those families who can afford to pay for someone to care for a patient in his or her own home. Nor does it apply to those who can afford an assisted-living facility. ...more
