I’m probably the luckiest guy on the planet. Family, friends, love – I have them. I live and work in Kansas City. The first book to truly change my perspective on life was Roots by Alex Haley. When I was a kid I would read Matt Christopher books in one sitting. I think his best work was The Kid Who Only Hit Homers.
UPDATE: this blog used to be about books and politics and stuff like that, but now it’s just my personal experiment with the WordPress platform, so I can screw around and make mistakes without harming my employer or anything important. Cheers!

I disagree. I think the best Matt Christopher book was “Catcher With a Glass Arm.”
