Today I saw an interesting method of holding and tilting the football on a 60 yard field goal attempt. (successful). Is this the new science of holding? Makes sense eh? Forward tilt. Fingers behind so there is no resistance. Interesting. (to me)

Today I read A Beautiful Country, by Jane Kuo. I was in search of a children’s book and couldn’t put it down. I wish I could find the right superlatives to do justice to my feelings about it at this moment. I loved it. Smartly conceived. Elegantly crafted. Poignant. I really like what the author pulled off here.

Book cover titled "In The Beautiful Country" by Jane Kuo. The background is in shades of pink and lavender, with stylized clouds and a scene that includes a street and distant mountains. In the foreground, there's a young Asian girl with short black hair, wearing a white T-shirt and beige pants. She stands confidently with her arms crossed, beside a suitcase and holding a butterfly kite. The cover features a quote from Gene Luen Yang stating the book is "Vivid, heartbreaking, and hopeful in all the right ways." The cover also describes the book with the phrases "A new language. A new land. A new life."
