i am soooooooooo brain dead now – the title should explain how far i went – and i have a handy chart to explain how stupid i get when i run – so no promises on this blog…

“every riven thing” by wiman – we read a poem by him in early january – the book was a collection of his work – probably the first book of poetry i’ve read in my adult life – and i really enjoyed it – he’s not too obscure for me

“bigger than the game” by weinreb – book about how sports changed in the mid ’80s – superstars began to rule – story of bo jackson, len bias, the boz – what was sad was that even though the book is relatively knew, some of it was dated (Joe Pa was treated like a great guy, jim mcmahon before his brain damage became noticeable and public)

“without reservations” by marriott jr. – we will blog on some of his thoughts – 80-plus year old and former head of the hotel chain with his last name – just amazing that someone can lead a company for so many years and stay humble about it

“the most important thing happening” by steele – as i told you, “the monsters win” 🙂 really did enjoy this book – surprisingly because i’d sworn off Christian fiction – and this one was very different than the genre it’s placed in – basically, a collection of stories about story – the word play was great – but the monsters won so that was sort of a bummer…

“calico joe” by grisham – the good part was i read it in a day – the bad part was that it was pretty simple – the worse part is that the cubs are still losers – thanks mr. grisham for the reminder…

i hope your week to come is great – GO SCHOLARS!!!

maf, the guy who knows the kid that’s king of the dinosaurs – that would be fred:)
