so I went to the 5k downtown yesterday to watch my mom run – before the kids ran ONE WHOLE MILE!!! the adults ran the Superhero 5k – and teens that say adults don’t channel their inner child often are very wrong at that race – b/c most of the adults were in costume – including a Wolverine, a billion Supermans, Spiderman, and the like

but the fastest superhero finished second overall – The Riddler – huh, who knew…

“Forgotten Sundays” – great book by an NFL announcer about the relationship he had with his father, an NFL coach, and how those memories tied to Sundays from long ago – great non-fiction for football kids

“The Big Sport” – or something like that – basically, a book about football being king – the author is not a fan of Saban – or of the SEC – so he won’t win many fans around here – he does have good points about the advantages the NFL and NCAA take over the fact that people go gaga over football – as a baseball fan, it burns me up:)

“Younger” – I read this one in honor of my grandmother – and then no Avon products were mentioned – bummer – but a book about keeping your skin young – you can obviously tell I do a good job already – actually, I learned from the book I’m pretty bad about it – so you should see a younger me in the days to come b/c I’m going to exfoliate much better:)

“The Plateau Effect” – to me, snow days are free days to do independent study – and so while most people would waste time off, I used it pretty well – I got that book read – and it was a wonderful book – I’d actually teach from it in class if we had enough copies – for my 8th grade – I plan to use the material in a presentation this fall at a state gifted conference – so pretty useful book to me and good use of time during the break

bring on the warmer weather – I speak softly in order not to jinx it

what will the world come to when Bri blogs first???
