Book Nook: Rickey, by Howard Bryant

For as long as I can remember, I have been the biggest Rickey Henderson fan I know. Albeit, I live in rural southern Illinois, so there has not been a lot of competition. Now, that is not a claim to be the biggest Rickey fan there is. Apparently that title might belong to Kent Corser in Kansas City. We follow each other on the socials now. But, I still reign as the biggest fan I personally know. See, I was 11 when Rickey came back home to Oakland. From 10-12 years old, the A’s were in the World Series. When … Continue reading Book Nook: Rickey, by Howard Bryant

Book Nook: Unf#ck Your Brain, by Faith Harper

This will be a quick review because this one was not really worth my time. I don’t like being dismissive of a professional’s work, but in a sea of books i have not gotten to, this one was not one I should have stuck with. In fact, I would not have if it were not so short. I don’t even know how it found its way into my library. Sarah and I neither one remember adding it.

Dear Future Self

weezel32

This week’s episode of Brett Bartholomew’s Things Your Future Self Will Thank You For. It is the thought exercise used often that is simply, what do you believe you can do now that will pay off in the future. It’s something I’ve contemplated, but never actually committed to paper, or, digital paper. 4. Stop being a dick when people disagree with you. It’s okay to have differences. Don’t be a dick when you do. That doesn’t mean avoiding debate. You learn from debate and having differences, but I default to “dick mode” when I do way too often. 5. Actually … Continue reading Dear Future Self
