happy super bowl day

“home game” – book from a baseball player i grew up watching – story of his family’s generations of playing – good anecdotes – good for my baseball guys in class

“running: a love story” – jen a. miller – her story is my story – in a way – coming from nowhere to running – miller’s story is more personal than mine though – a story of bravery – in more ways than one – another good one for my students

“the basketball tide” – thrift stores rock – found a 1977 alabama basketball book – the author had spoken to some of the first members of the tide’s hoops teams – which amazes me – so just in matters of history, a wonderful book – basketball is definitely the undercard in our state, but this book is a treasure
