Homepage and Houston

October 23, 2007 | by brett | Permalink

If you frequently bypass the homepage to go directly to the journey blog, I suggest you take minute to peak at our home page. It looks snazzy.

In tour news, we are in Houston, just minutes away from leaving for Dallas. We went to the Toyota Center yesterday to attend the Rockets “read to achieve” day, where NBA players read books to grade schoolers. The day arguably featured the best and worst readers in the league, if there were such awards to be issued.

Shane Battier, a four year Duke graduate, articulately read an advanced picture book to some awestruck fifth graders. Meanwhile, Yao Ming led an “Old McDonald had a farm chant.” Dikembe Mutombo read to the kids. The experience was great.

Afterwards, we got to sit in on interview with point guard Mike James, who recommended a few “shake-booty-shake” spots to hit up on a Monday.

It was a fairly tame, but entertaining day in H-town.

Normally, I like the video interviews, but this one was really great. You’re correct, your home page is KILLER. It is the best I’ve ever seen it. I LOVE the Video of the Day. That one is my all time favorite video of all the ones you have posted. It looks like CBS directed it. Very high quality and professional.

What a sight to see those big basketball players reading to the young fifth graders. I would imagine that they must have been very awe struck!
