Good Reads for the Week

Posted on March 27, 2011 by Ben Bruno

I hope everyone had a good weekend and is getting geared up for a great week to come. I had a good one myself, starting with coaching yesterday morning followed by a great training session with my friends and fellow coaches at MBSC followed by the NCAA basketball tournament. My bracket is a complete disaster at this point, but I’m comforted by the fact that almost everyone else’s is too. If you picked the Final Four this year, I think it’s pretty clear you just put on a blindfold and picked names out of a hat. I guess that’s why they call it March Madness. It will be exciting to see how it plays out next weekend. I’m pulling for UConn all the way.

Anywho, I’ll get back on track: Good Reads. This may be the best list yet. I know I say this almost every week, but it is always true. It is the longest list anyway, with almost 110 articles and podcasts in all. That should keep you busy for awhile. I do not expect to be able to keep up this pace for long, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Before I get to it, here are four posts you may have missed from the past week.
