More books I’m reading

The best part about the Denver Libary is that you can put a book on hold and they call you when it’s ready. It beats going to Tattered Cover, Borders or Barnes and Noble and reading a book you really have no intention of buying.
Recently I picked up a book with the greatest title ever: Why My Wife Thinks I’m an Idiot: The Life and Times of a Sportscaster Dad by Mike Greenberg of Mike and Mike fame on ESPN Radio.
I expected it to be humorous. It was about as humorous as the sitcom “Yes, Dear!”
When someone has what you consider your “dream job” you really don’t expect their lives to be rather pedestrian. I almost gave up completely on the book until I read a paragraph that Mike wrote about Micheal Jordan:
“It was all in his head. It was all in his confidence and competitiveness and determination and mental toughness. I traveled with Michael Jordan for years and never once saw him waver. I never say him afraid. Michael Jordan was the most supremely self-confident human being that ever lived. His unshakable faith in his ability is what set him apart, made him special. It is what enabled him to fly.”
Good job Mike!
