Jared & Coach Cal

Early September I posed about my brother Jared meeting Coach Mike Krzyzewski of Duke University Mens Basketball.

Just a few weeks ago he got another great opportunity to meet Coach John Calipari, Head Coach of the University of Kentucky Mens Basketball.

The Knack: How Street-Smart Entrepreneurs Learn to Handle Whatever Comes Up

The-knack_how-street-smart-ent

Ever thought about starting a business that was going to be more than a hobby.  Maybe a small business that earned more than a few bucks a month?

The Knack: How Street-Smart Entrepreneurs Learn to Handle Whatever Comes Up by Norm Brodsky and Bo Burlingham is a real good book by some smart and down to earth business people. I had the chance to listen to the "Unabridged" audio version and was so pleased that I borrowed the hardcover from the library to scan over some of the book's better highlights. The tone of the writing is plan street talk using business terms that are easy to understand with both meaning and practical application.

I give it ✪✪✪✪✪ 5/5 Stars.

My American Journey, by Colin Powell

Just finished the "Abridged" audio book My American Journey, by Colin Powell. I give it ✪✪✪✪ 4/5 stars. The editing job of the abridged version seemed slightly disjointed.  Unfortunately, there is no "Unabridged" audio version available.

Overall the narrative helps you to understand how and why he ascended to four star General in the Army and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Also, insight into why the first Gulf War was much different from Gulf War II and Afghanistan today.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2

Problems with the game.  Green screed and froze the XBOX 360 on the first load, required a cold reboot. Cinematic cut scenes are choppy at times, not easy to zoom the camera.

Too bad.
