When I asked Albert Pujols today what he was chasing -- a title? milestones? something else -- he flipped the question on me, asking why I'd still write if I'd already written my best story.

-- Read more than you write.
-- Read plays or scripts so you become familiar with dialogue and how to use quotes.
-- Always make the one more phone call, the one that might be a pain, or difficult, or you don't have time to make. The story might be there.
I have more!

After working as a sportswriter for 50 years, Dave Kindred and his wife Cheryl moved home to central Illinois. “I went to a girls high school] basketball game. And like the old war horse, I couldn’t sit there and not write about what I saw,” says Kindred. cbsn.ws/31rWLYh

Just another example that there are good people, contrary to what some think. Bob Tyrell told me to stay as long as I needed to write my story. The Minooka press box is beautiful. So as I was leaving late, there are two maintenance people waiting to make sure I got out fine. TY

Another lesson of this past week may be that it has not been such a great idea for civics and history classes to be reduced or eliminated in so many of our schools.
