love this weather…

“choosing hope” – one of the newtown elem teachers – first grade – she got her kids in a closet and kept them quiet during the shooting three years ago – this is her book – she actually never taught much afterward – she got into problems with her school district – the book was powerful – mostly for me in matters of understanding school policy – there can’t be a uniform way of dealing with a tragedy – the school system didn’t do a good job responding correctly in her case – at all

“greatness in the shadows” – larry doby was the second af-am player in the Bigs – after jackie robinson – the book wasn’t so much a biography as the title – how he was great – and overshadowed – good for the start of baseball season – at least, practice:)

“yes, my accent is real” – raj from big bang has a book!!! it was good – my mom actually read it in like a day – one of the interesting things i’d have loved to explore in class… raj was singled out as the weak person in his theater team’s performance at districts – in other words, the judges thought he wasn’t good- one of several cases in the book where if he’d listened to others, he’d never be where he is today
