They were funny but you could'a heard a pin drop in that studio. I was way more interested in the Bolivia part of the story. I have a lot of gymnastics books but none from the perspective of a coach involved in multiple programs in developing countries. I would love to read those stories. I spent some time yesterday trying to figure out who you coached. That's how I figured out that the guy who got the MAG wildcard for Beijing was one of your athletes. Way cool.

Getting through the essay on the website about inscription in Bolivia was kinda hard. I hope the book is written better than that. That was meandering and all over the place.
