So here's the deal. Everyone thinks because you are writing books you are making a boatload of money. Not true. It is a passion of mine, a hobby if you will. Something I do for the love of the game or for the love of kids.
Sure I sell a few books but I get to meet interesting people at the book signings and festivals. There is more to life than just making money. Don't get me wrong money is nice. I never turned my back on legal money. But you know there are literally thousands of authors out there selling their self-published books.

When you go to these festivals you meet a lot of authors. Some of their books are of redeeming quality, others are those peeps who cut in front of your table to steal visitors from seeing your books, who would have thunk it?
But really I do give the benefit of the doubt to most of these authors. There are people are out there trying to spread whatever gospel it is they believe in. So give them A for effort in trying.
Everyone's story is not going to be J.K. Rowling's.
By the way, Man City looked real good today defeating Man United 2-1 in the Manchester Darby. My Chelsea maters better watch themselves this year.
See y'all

I concur with Hope Solo. Sunil Galati and USA Soccer are using her stance on equal pay for gender as a subterfuge to force her out of professional soccer. It is ridiculous to claim that by her calling the women's Swedish Olympic soccer team "cowards" for parking the bus, she should have her international contract struck and now her professional contract as well. She has a right to express her opinion just as Colin Kaepernick can express his viewpoints on the United States flag. Yes, she has a competitive temper which is why she has been our goalie since 2002 but to punish her now and take her livelihood away? It stinks!! You go after them Hope with your usual aggressiveness.

Sidenote- My blessings to Jrue Holiday and Lauren Cheyney Holiday to get through this health scare of Lauren's with a brain tumor. Jrue, my commendations to you for taking a leave of absence from the Pelicans to be with your wife. My added blessings to both of you to have a wonderful childbirth and a healthy baby.
