Even erudite listeners understood Tiger’s NASCARish praise of his body team: “I’m good at breaking it, they’re good at fixing it.”#HowHeCanDoThis
Reminded me of the way the Morton girls have played winning four state championships, a 2d and a 3d in the last 7 seasons.

Just in from Estonia (!!), the first international edition of “Leave Out the Tragjc Parts.” #ChallengingRead #WritersWrite
Thanks, Sam….
The “Ali” Ken Burns documentary is excellent. The best parts, even if I’m a bit biased, seem to all feature the great @DaveKindred.

Ez fix for Cardinals: don’t let Reyes pitch to fat left-handed pinch hitters in bottom of the ninth. Tsutsugo listed at 225, Vogelbach 250 (liar).

“60 Minutes” will re-run its segment on my sportswriting career this Sunday, with a mention of my new book, “Leave Out the Tragic Parts.” #WritingCommunity
All authors want better bookstore placement. Blessed Barnes & Noble made it impossible for me to sneak my book to a better place. #Behindthefrontcounter #Theotherguyisprettygood
My, my...thanks, David....
Dave Kindred. His work is brilliant, on point. He's kind and funny and smart and humble. And if I tag him, @DaveKindred, he might respond. He wrote a beautiful blurb for my 1st book and I am forever grateful. And if not Dave, then John Gardner because Grendel is my favorite book.

Alex Tallent, once a “travelin’ kid,” was with Jared on a harrowing train journey that ended in Arizona with my grandson all but killed by a speeding car. (This is the third photo following the narrative of my book. “Leave Out the Tragic Parts.”)
