okay, first, lil bri is first for like – ever

(i would swap her out for all my sixth grade – in a heartbeat – it wouldn’t be fair to the elem teachers though – they’d be like “WHAT??? we gave those kids to you a few months ago – it’s not our fault they don’t read…”)

“the storm and the tide” – expansion of a sports illustrated article from years ago – there was a big tornado three years ago – before any of you were born – that devastated tuscaloosa – the book didn’t give much new information – it would be a good book for people though that are unfamiliar with the situation – and with t-town – saban – i enjoyed it though

“offensive conduct: my life on the line” – something like that – by john hannah – incredible player at bama – with the patriots – amazing story how someone with seemingly what everyone wants – fame, money, power – loses it all at 55 and has to rebuild – i do like those types of stories because we all have up’s and down’s – and the down’s – no matter how low – should never define us

“finally free” – michael vick book – again, you’re all too young to know – but vick was like the most hated man for a while in ’07-08 – he was convicted of abusing dogs – running fights with them facing off – the book really wasn’t super insightful – although, our pro athletes aren’t judged by their perceptiveness – i guess it’s a reminder that things catch up – that you might get away with something for a while but situations changed – it was a sad book

happy nanowrimo-ing this week – if you are…
