Working on the Paper Lion episode. Wondering if any big time modern leagues would let some writer actually play. And of they did, would you do it?

I liked this book. George Plimpton is a good storyteller and made this tale of the time he spent with the Detroit Lions extremely interesting. I now understand why my Dad loved his writings. Thanks @NCNY for putting it on your #FreakyFriday list. I'll have to read his other books.

Hi @NCNY I haven't fallen off the edge of the world, it's just been one of those weeks. I'm about halfway through Paper Lion and it's very interesting. I'm enjoying it.

I've had a lovely morning and afternoon with my family celebrating Easter. But now it's time to start my #FreakyFriday books. These are the first three of my library holds to come in.

@NCNY These all look like wonderful books. The first one that caught my eye was Paper Lion because George Plimpton was one of my father's favorite authors. I've never read any of his books, so I'll start with that one. I've only read Harry Potter, Kavalier and Clay, and Girl Waits with Gun. I've picked out some others but I have a feeling I'll be making my way through this list long after April. #FreakyFriday
