Selling My Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 6/14 - Flag Day

It's Flag Day. Stand and salute:

Condolences to Rangers fans. Kudos to the L.A. Kings for their incredible playoff run. They played the most games ever by a Cup winner, 26. They won three game-sevens on the road! They were the first team that needed 21 games to get to the finals. They faced elimination seven times! Four of their wins came after trailing by two goals. In round one vs. the San Jose Sharks, they became only the fourth team in NHL history to win a series after losing the first three games. Man, they must be tired, but not too bushed to raise the championship banner.

RIP Chuck Noll, 82, the coach who guided the Pittsburgh Steelers to four Super Bowl victories in six seasons, winning numbers IX, X, XIII, XIV. He is the only coach to have won four. The first two were characterized by a reliance on the famous Steel Curtain defense and running game featuring Franco Harris. The latter two relied more on the talents of QB Terry Bradshaw and his WR’s Lynn Swann and John Stallworth. Noll’s overall record is 209-156. He is, of course, a member of the NFL Hall of Fame. He played seven seasons for the Cleveland Brown as a Safety. He was considered a players’ coach, very lenient in terms of discipline. He built the team by drafting wisely. Here is a quote attributed to him: “A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.” And that is true at any level. I'm sure flags in the Steel City will be at half mast.

Red flag: for the second straight day the floating book shop had no sales. I've run out of "can't miss" items. I have plenty of good books. They simply don't have wide appeal. My thanks to whomever purchased the Kindle version of Exchanges this week.
