Thank you to readers everywhere; my family & friends; everyone at Atria Books who believed in me; all the indie booksellers who hosted events; and the people who lived this story & trusted me to tell it. This little underdog book has done it. We are a New York Times bestseller.

@PaulPabst Forty-three feels YOUNG. I'm going with 48. By then, you are knocking on the door of 50 and saying things that your parents once said, like: "I will turn this car around..."

Topic off air...at what age do you become "Middle Aged"? I'm going 43. Far enought from your 30's. -Family/friends question why you're not married. -Starting to get sore for no reason. -A good-night's sleep is attractive over a night out. What's your number and why?

I just finished this great book on Larry Bird & the incredible Indiana State phenomenon by ⁦@KeithOB⁩. There’s so much great college basketball history & research here with cameos by Bob Knight, Magic Johnson, Al McGuire, Dick Enberg and Billy Packer.

When Suzie's mom died, we planted this tree in her memory. She blooms every Mother's Day to say hello.

In 1978, when Pete Rose was a free agent for the first time, Ted Turner tried to get Rose to sign with the Atlanta Braves. It almost worked. Pete loved money—and Ted. But in the end, he chose Philadelphia, a better team. RIP Ted Turner, a man who almost changed baseball history.

The Celtics might have been eliminated, but the HEARTLAND book tour rolls on! I’ll be in Nashua, N.H., this Saturday, May 9, at Balin Books. If you’re in the neighborhood, come out for a fun afternoon discussing basketball, miracles, and Larry Bird. 🏀📚☘️

Thank you @BillieJeanKing for your leadership, mentorship and friendship for so many years. (And for beating Bobby Riggs, of course!) You haven’t just changed women’s sports, you’ve changed America. And thanks for your great perspective in On Her Game. @ilanakloss

These are dark days for Boston sports fans. The Super Bowl blowout. The Vrabel fallout. The Cora firing. The sputtering Sox. The elimination of the Bruins. And now, just 24 hours later, the full & total collapse of the Celtics to the hated Sixers. Gonna be a long week on WEEI.

There are many times you miss home or great times like your college years. As a Indiana State Sycamore alumni & native Hoosier, Heartland by @KeithOB is not only a great read it takes a Sycamore and Hoosier on a great ride through ISU & IND nostalgia. HS bball, backroads & Bird
