Bookshelf — Chapter 4

Melinda says she has a stack of books waiting for her.  I am still on the lookout for enticing ebooks, especially ones I can get from the library.  Annie, our librarian, sent along selections from Pixel of Ink — a free or low cost ebook source.

2005 World Series
I forgot what a nail biter the decisive game was.  A pitcher’s duel which the Sox won 1-0.  The lone run came in the eighth inning.  I loved seeing Ozzie in the dugout. They kept showing Barbara Bush in the stands. I wish they would have shown more of Ann Richards. 

Perfect
Last year, on the 10th anniversary, I watched Mark Buehrle’s perfect game.  I was stunned at how immediate it was.  When DeWayne Wise made the jaw dropping catch that saved it, I was up off of the couch and cheering.

YouTube bends history in unforeseen ways.
