happy first week of baseball – and last week before testing

i finished spring break up with the book “lombardi” by manariss – nonfiction about the coach of the green bay packers – the guy didn’t get a head coaching job until his 40s – so good story about hanging in there when the breaks don’t go your ways – sad book with his family (he wasn’t the best dad)

i then moved to “the best i can be” by rafer johnson – gold medalist at the ’60 games – wonderful, encouraging story about overcoming – from race to depression to the little things that bump up in a sporting event – would love for you all to read this book

then, on to the electronic kind – “portrait of pacifists” – wonderful complement to anne frank’s diary (for those of you that have read it) – a french town during wwii helped keep jews from the nazis – and this pastor and his wife helped – they hated war, all wars, and yet felt compelled to do something b/c of the nazis – but rather than fight, they used non-violence (which is a form of fighting – guess we just never think of it that way) – enlightening story i never knew about

remember to get in a good testing pattern early – so start getting those breakfast foods ready for your nutritional needs:)
