English usage is sometimes more than mere taste judgment and education - sometimes it's sheer luck like getting across the street.

All my dreams are coming true all across the board for some reason.

Here's what I see all across this great city - people working together to make Boston a better place to live and to raise children to grow and pursue dreams.

I'm not certain but I have a little gypsy blood in me. And my mother always told me that her grandma could give someone the evil eye and I'd better not cross her because she had some of that blood in her. Mother always believed that she could predict the future and she had dreams that came true.

Men don't come up to you to just talk. We come up to you with a plan. We're looking across the room at you and we don't care about your hopes and dreams. We don't care about what your future holds. We saw something we wanted.

My dad and grandpa were in the army and as a country singer you're constantly playing at military bases all across the country and meeting soldiers and their families and hearing their stories.

He was a manager one of the singers I guess talent coordinator for the local talent in Harlem. His name was Lover Patterson. He was living right across the street from where my dad had his restaurant. I guess he saw a lot of kids come in a lot of my buddies.
