Welcome Back!

Hey,
Hope everybody's spring break went well! Hopefully many of you were in the warmth and sun. My team and I went to West Palm Beach where we had our first two games. We won them both, are 2-0, and have a game vs. Ithaca tomorrow. I wanted to share that over the break I read Augusten Burroughs "Possible Side Effects." Hilarious and a very similar idea to his book "Magical Thinking." I also bought a book from Borders with all of Dali's paintings and an explanation for each one, so I am excited to continue reading that.

I wanted to share something I heard at the airport during our 3 hour layover. I was in a Borders yet again and a man was purchasing a book and he received 50% off his next purchase. He asks the man who actually seemed possibly to be the manager, "Why would you guys do that?"-- meaning why would I buy this book and receive 50% off my next purchase. The possible manager's response was something that would have made this class very happy: "Because we are encouraging people to read more." Pretty nice huh? Thought this class would appreciate that. Hope everyone is doing well, see you later on.
