I love to fish and these fish came swimming into my mind , and I just started drawing them , drawing what I saw in my mind. POSITIVE DOING_ART_WORKS In fact , while basking on that selfsame beach where I spotted the properly beach-attired orca of attorneys , I fell asleep. POSITIVE BE_ON_THE_BEACH This book is sheer entertainment and perfect reading material while I plop in a beach chair, listen to waves break gently on Daytona 's historic shore and work on my tan. POSITIVE BE_ON_THE_BEACH We like to sit here and gossip on the beach' she said , as two friends practiced a tango they had learned in a ballroom dance class. POSITIVE BE_ON_THE_BEACH It was n't much of a job , but it was enough to convince me to spend my summers playing Little League baseball and going to the beach instead of working in tobacco. POSITIVE BE_ON_THE_BEACH No one was chasing us off the beach. POSITIVE BE_ON_THE_BEACH There were no lights except your bonfire on the beach at night. POSITIVE BE_ON_THE_BEACH I miss the pleasure of anonymity , just to walk along the beach here' she says. POSITIVE BE_ON_THE_BEACH Thoughts of this Saturday mermaid stayed with me after the Tail arrived and I rushed with it to the beach on Noyack Bay. POSITIVE BE_ON_THE_BEACH I was walking along the beach. POSITIVE BE_ON_THE_BEACH We watched the sunset while sitting on the rocks that led to the beach. POSITIVE BE_ON_THE_BEACH We said that the dog was still barking when we turned out the light to go to sleep at 11. NEGATIVE BEING_AWAKEN I couldn't sleep the night after O.J. Simpson 's freeway flight , so I stayed up with Midge Keeble. NEGATIVE BEING_AWAKEN About midnight, our three tired souls were awakened by a noise. NEGATIVE BEING_AWAKEN Then, at night while I was sleeping on the street, I was accosted by other Zairian soldiers who took two suitcases belonging to my friends and demanded money. NEGATIVE BEING_AWAKEN At 3 o'clock in the morning when something --: was that outside , in the house or did I dream it ?. --: awakens us , and our own heart feels like it 's trying to kill us with adrenalin. NEGATIVE BEING_AWAKEN Even now , I have trouble sleeping ; I 'm up at 3:30. NEGATIVE BEING_AWAKEN A sudden noise in our small trail camp woke me from deep sleep. NEGATIVE BEING_AWAKEN I was roused from sleep two blocks away on Hall Avenue. NEGATIVE BEING_AWAKEN After the big boom , I could n't get any sleep ', Rukshana said. NEGATIVE BEING_AWAKEN As I loaded my bike into the back of my friends' station wagon, it started to rain. NEGATIVE BEING_IN_RAINY_WEATHER Running was something I did in quick, reactionary spurts: to chase the kids, to get away from spiders or to rush out of the rain. NEGATIVE BEING_IN_RAINY_WEATHER Officials said the accident had occurred in a rainstorm that produced a third of an inch of rain near the airport in 15 minutes and after the crew received a wind-shear warning from the airport 's control tower. NEGATIVE BEING_IN_RAINY_WEATHER As she writes in the prologue of her book: 'The phone was tapped from the minute I could talk on it, and the FBI had been at the door since I was tall enough to turn the knob. NEGATIVE BEING_UNABLE_TO_CALL_OR_REACH_SOMEONE_WHEN_IT_IS_IMPORTANT I can't tell you how many times I 've gone to the phone to call her. NEGATIVE BEING_UNABLE_TO_CALL_OR_REACH_SOMEONE_WHEN_IT_IS_IMPORTANT After both lost their jobs, they gave up their tiny apartment in Campbell, Calif., and began months of camping out with family and friends. NEGATIVE BEING_UNEMPLOYED We both take pleasure in painting , sawing , wallpapering , weeding 'it goes on and on'. POSITIVE DOING_ART_WORKS But how can anyone in the 20th century reclaim a consciousness that prevailed thousands of years ago ?. I've always loved wildness, but only as a hiker or a camper does, as a pleasant setting, a much-needed change from civilization. POSTIVE EXPLORING I might wander deep into the Himalayas, as David Sayers, an experienced traveler, retraces the steps of Thomas Thomson, the 19th-century Scottish explorer and plant collector, and describes the wild rhododendrons and orchids that someday I, too, hope to see. POSITIVE EXPLORING On our earlier visit, Sara and I had tramped out _: and mainly up _: the 5 miles from Kilronan in the early afternoon, typically gray and cool _, although Sara remembers being warmed by the runner-like carpeting of wildflowers between the ascending layers of limestone. POSITIVE EXPLORING The other day, after she had identified every one of 2,355 species of Colorado wildflowers on a four-hour hike, she and I browsed through the shelves of a bookstore. POSITIVE EXPLORING As I walked through the forest of the hundreds of dancing, laughing teen-agers, I was surprised to realize that I was not at all afraid even though it was extremely dark. POSITIVE EXPLORING I used to walk on the wild side,' he says. POSITIVE EXPLORING Later, I took a walk on the Promenade deck, just as a vibrant red sun was sinking behind the green willows. POSITIVE EXPLORING I spent early mornings outside on the walkway, scanning the mountainsides with binoculars. POSITIVE EXPLORING During a hike to Fat Man's Pass in April, I easily motored up that hill. POSITIVE EXPLORING I hike the paths in my park and see little wonders :: After a rain, mushrooms push aside fallen leaves, flowers root in merciless rocks, new green blades poke out of dried-up grass that looked seriously dead. POSITIVE EXPLORING In the last year, I have hiked in 45 parks in the Bay Area and surveyed the entire surrounding greenbelt from my airplane a dozen times. POSITIVE EXPLORING I walk through a rain-forest trail into the Thurston Lava Tube, a 400-foot long tunnel where tiny ferns sprout out of the cold lava walls. POSITIVE EXPLORING I manage to squeeze in two excursions and a walking tour of this town, which tumbles down steep hills. POSITIVE EXPLORING Outside an imposing Victorian in Pacific Heights, I learned that I, along with a dozen other tourists, had signed up for a 15-block sightseeing hike uphill _: there seems to be no other direction in San Francisco. POSITIVE EXPLORING As the four-faced clock chimes the quarter-hour, and the 7-foot red star, a beacon at top, continues gleaming, I walk slightly uphill and southeast toward hazy, jazzily-tinted balloons in the distance. POSITIVE EXPLORING I missed the Brookline hills, but I loved walking along Brattle Street and Mount Auburn. POSITIVE EXPLORING Swinging up the mountain in a car that could hold 50 people, I spotted hikers moving up the steep trails, folks seated on benches and reading in the warm sun, and hang-gliders stepping off high, green peaks into space. POSITIVE EXPLORING I tramp through forests of Monterey cypress, pine and eucalyptus. POSITIVE EXPLORING And in the afternoon we took a walk, just long enough to feel a pleasant tiredness through the trees, past the pond where the bird dog, Rufus, lingered for a swim, and up into a meadow bright with wildflowers. POSITIVE EXPLORING In the immaculate hill town of Montepulciano, the stillness of a nice night walk through empty, steeply tilted and slender streets was punctuated only by our footsteps until we reached the top, Piazza Grande, where muted sounds of brass betrayed communal band practice within one of the buildings. POSITIVE EXPLORING The lure of mountains is not only their physical beauty but their power to convey a sense of limitless possibility, of surprises about to be sprung: an owl that suddenly swoops toward unseen prey, a pair of wild turkeys leading their young on a walk through the meadow grass, a muskrat that glides close to the lake shore as we sit down to dinner. POSITIVE EXPLORING So we are marching up the hill. POSITIVE EXPLORING Before then, however, we spent the week hiking in solitude, and saw only a handful of other people camping in the wilderness. POSITIVE EXPLORING Which means we have to be prepared to stand, sometimes for hours, on deck in frigid, windy and sometimes rainy weather so as not to miss the scenery and wildlife ;: explore the ports of call no matter what the weather and fork over sometimes big bucks to take excursions inland. POSITIVE EXPLORING Part of the appeal of wilderness hiking is the silence we enjoy there. POSITIVE EXPLORING Up and up we walked, traveling higher and higher into and then past the pines, through groves and stands of aspens, now mixed with evergreens. POSITIVE EXPLORING We'd just come from hiking through a stand of old-growth forest _, white oak, hemlock, white pine _, that pre-dates our U.S. Constitution by at least 100 years. POSITIVE EXPLORING We walked a short ways down the hill, across the middle of the valley and then started climbing the Hallingskarvet, which is a 30-mile-long mountain range that runs like an inverted crescent moon along the south side of the valley. POSITVE EXPLORING I talked the talk, I did the walk,' said McNeeley, whose Irish green trunks took on the shade of a new dollar bill. POSITIVE GIVE_A_SPEECH Once , I stopped at a fast-food restaurant. POSITIVE GOING_TO_RESATURANT We always ended up going to a restaurant for seafood at the end of the day'. POSITIVE GOING_TO_RESTAURANT Back in 1955 I saved up enough of my hay-hauling money to take my high school sweetheart to the big city to see a movie and pay for a dinner at a nice restaurant. POSITIVE GOING_TO_RESTAURANT We went to expensive Manhattan restaurants, including the Four Seasons and Amarcord, where we scouted out women wearing rings ranging in value from $20,000 to $120,000. POSITIVE GOING_TO_RESTAURANT I just like to have my family and a couple of friends over and go out for dinner, that is all. POSITIVE GOING_TO_RESTAURANT During a break in a professional conference, a friend and I had decided to take her rental car to a nearby nightspot and have a dinner out, away from the confines of the hotel where we had spent several days in seminars and workshops. POSITIVE GOING_TO_RESTAURANT Mrs. Santo took me to the restaurant's cafe where I joined a friend who was having dinner. POSITIVE GOING_TO_RESTAURANT Even though I'm local, a friend and I ride the trolley at least twice a year, shopping, stopping off at Old Town for lunch or a margarita,' Bankert said. POSITIVE GOING_TO_RESTAURANT We stopped for lunch in the middle of town at the Crab Shanty, a friendly, sky-lighted family restaurant where for less than 40, including tax, tip and a beer, we were served more clam chowder, shrimp, baked clams, soft shell crabs, linguine, salad and garlic bread than we could ever eat. POSITIVE GOING_TO_RESTAURANT For Weekend Chefs we selected the 'Casual Occasions' Kitchen Breakfast, a generous morning meal for weekend houseguests, friends assembling for a daytime outing or family members celebrating a special event. POSITIVE GOING_TO_RESTAURANT For dinner that night we go to Thai Spices, on the recommendation of a friend. POSITIVE GOING_TO_RESTAURANT I 've finally decided that watching soccer is cool. POSITIVE GOING_TO_SPORT_EVENT I arrived at the Stadium around 8 o'clock and sat in the bleachers in back of the handball court next to the employees ' entrance. POSITIVE GOING_TO_SPORT_EVENT I recently returned from the U.S. Open , from a hallowed club like Oakmont that was constructed near the turn of the century and where golfers wear only slacks and a collared shirt even in broiling conditions. POSITIVE GOING_TO_SPORT_EVENT To be even more candid, I actually went to soccer games a few years back. POSITIVE GOING_TO_SPORT_EVENT We watch golfers in the Southwestern Bell Colonial and tennis players on the Virginia Slims tour and basketball players , starting this year , in the Dr Pepper Southwest Conference Classic. POSITIVE GOING_TO_SPORT_EVENT I saw Ryne at a golf tournament a few years back' said McDougald , 'and he looked beautiful'. POSITIVE GOING_TO_SPORT_EVENT I couldn't see anything or hear anything that let me know I was in the dentist 's office,' Epstein said. NEGATIVE GOING_TO_THE_DENTIST I can already feel the chill bumps I'm going to have when Sabir marches in with the national team. POSITIVE GOOD_THINGS_TO_FAMILY_OR_FRIENDS I don't want to take any chances on coming back too soon after having the operation' said Delahoussaye, who plans to make Del Mar 's opener on Wednesday. NEGATIVE HAVING_AN_OPERATION I'd call old friends for lunch, and they would say, 'How much will this cost me ?.' POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES Doug and I are friends, and I cherish our friendship, but I guess I've known Doug since 1981 and we've had dinner together a total of maybe three times. POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES Fully awake at last, I begin to revel in last night's dinner as my friend and I start shouting the names of dishes, giddily recapturing a cornucopia of flavors. POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES I went to dinner with my best friends for sushi, Barton, Ed McCaffrey, and Bill Musgrave. POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES I belt out songs in the clubs, I like to go out with my boyfriend and have dinner and kiss and cuddle. POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES I'm a big believer that business lunches are very important and that it's a good time to mingle with associates and to share ideas,' Woodward says. POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES I like to have dinner with my girlfriend when I can, but her busy schedule often prevents it. POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES Once a month I cook dinner together with friends,' she continued. POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES One summer lunchtime, my best friend from across the street and I were bellied up to the old kitchen table. POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES With the arrival of longer, warmer days, my wife and I again look forward to casual dinners with friends on our screened-in porch. POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES I was brooding about this the evening Jack and I went to dinner at the home of new friends. POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES We awoke just in time to remember that old friends were coming for dinner and that one of them drinks a brand of beer we did n't have. POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES In a letter to a Post reporter that he distributed Friday through the clerk of the Appeals Court, Sentelle said,'Senator Faircloth is an old friend and we lunch together from time to time.' POSITIVE HAVING_MEAL_WITH_FRIENDS_ASSOCIATES When the dog died in 1982, Wegman did not want another. NEGATIVE HAVING_MY_PET_SICKEN_AND_DIE One thing we agreed on , he said , was to discuss in Halifax ' what we want the world to look like 20 years from now'. POSITIVE HAVING_SOMEONE_AGREE_WITH_ME We negotiated a joint marketing agreement with MassMutual .. POSITIVE HAVING_SOMEONE_AGREE_WITH_ME We want to achieve a collective agreement with management that requires management-union negotiations for years to come .. '''' POSITIVE HAVING_SOMEONE_AGREE_WITH_ME We 've spoken with our tenants and they 're basically in agreement about this ' Lynch said. POSITIVE HAVING_SOMEONE_AGREE_WITH_ME I had to work very hard to compete with my brothers. NEGATIVE HAVING_TO_COMPETE_AGAINST_OTHERS I arrived here fretting and feeling too old to compete. NEGATIVE HAVING_TO_COMPETE_AGAINST_OTHERS We 'd go together and compete in races even though we were in different age groups. NEGATIVE HAVING_TO_COMPETE_AGAINST_OTHERS I will have others to contend with. NEGATIVE HAVING_TO_COMPETE_AGAINST_OTHERS There is a sense of urgency for me to show my$ potential , but it comes from pitching for a contender in a pennant race', Showalter said. NEGATIVE HAVING_TO_COMPETE_AGAINST_OTHERS We 're in a tough part of Paterson , off Route 80: how do we compete with a Hackensack Medical with its modern facilities ?' said Everett Hines , a consultant with Coopers & Lybrand who is working with St. Joseph 's to introduce its computer system. NEGATIVE HAVING_TO_COMPETE_AGAINST_OTHERS In most of the places I have hunted deer, as I walked deeper into the forest I was usually thinking of how much effort would be required to drag an animal out behind me. POSITIVE HUNTING I tell'em I'm getting ready for hunting season and that I'll be in shape when I'm walking the hills with a rifle in one hand and a shotgun in the other.' POSITIVE HUNTING/EXPLORING At a glance, dozens seemed to be crying infants. NEGATIVE SEEING_SOMEONE_CRY I remember Cesar Tovar used to put all this awful smelling cologne on his bats, former major leaguer Tommy Hutton recalled because he thought it would keep away the evil spirits so he could hit better.'
