it was great – we rocked the memory verses – the stories from the year – we didn’t get Heavenly Doughnuts like the 5th grade did, but we won everything else mostly…

“Gerry Lindgren’s Book of Running” – great story on interlibrary loan – Lindgren wrote it in third person – and only up through his high school days – but just an unbelievable glimpse of what running was like in the early 1960s (he was arrested 17 times – it was so odd that people would run that cops would assume he was trouble)

“scribe” – collection of the memories of a boston globe writer – sportswriter – he spoke of a dream to have a show that married sports and music – that most people love both – and i’d never thought of the connection – his chapter on college sports was good – b/c it’s such a business and it can be hard to not feel like the kids aren’t getting a lot out of it – he reconciled those two worlds pretty well

“framing faith” – a photojournalist outlined was that photos can teach use faith lessons – perspective – depth – insight – light/dark – good

how were the fireworks last night???
