living in a world of pokemon…

“going postal: history of the us postal service” – wonderful history of the post office – lots of the issues it’s faced for years it’s faced before – or things it has faced are things new agencies face – so a great, great book and an interesting read

“olympic obsession” – great book – about the rivalry between zola budd and mary decker slaney – or media-hyped rivalry from 1984 – great history both of a time period in running – and a history of what happened – the challenges – during that time – slaney was a prodigy in 1972 – and budd still runs – so lots of great parallels to developing talent

“originality” – great book – got lots of ideas for the classroom – just things about how fixing a mindset can improve things in your life – and how certain things can be improved to help spark creativity
