the answer to the subject header is yes, of course… 🙂

“boston marathon” – started this week by finishing last week’s book – I made a copy of the map of the course to keep and use as I read a book about the city of boston – so, like last week, a productive book

“William Shakespeare’s star wars” – we read part of this in class – if you like one or the other you should enjoy the combo – good use of creativity

“2 Minute Drill to Manhood” by John Croyle – really enjoyed this book – Croyle’s daughter was at Alabama at the same time I was – and Brodie was after – but I have all the respect and admiration for the father – who has helped to raise 1,800 boys and girls unwanted – this book addressed teaching young boys what they need to become men – something we don’t do a great job of currently – so great, encouraging read – made me question how I lead my young guys (I take no responsibility for billy:)

“The Hinge” by Bell – very easy to read book about the mental discipline it takes to be at the top in sports – that to successfully compete, you have to take advantage of the good and the bad and treat the next play, the next mile – as if it’s your first – no history, nothing to hold you back – I thought I would use the lessons of this book in my 10k race this weekend – but when i’m racing, i’m not thinking about much other than hoping the next milemarker comes soon:)

happy novel writing this week – i’m off to watch more of the NYC marathon
