Physical books are more meaningful than a collection of digits on a screen. I've got hundreds of books stacked in shelves even now - and I've had to sell off hundreds more because of moves and space. But culling also has its benefits - you keep what you think you will go back to. I can pull a book off the shelf, and it's like drawing back memories. I can remember where I bought the book, where I started reading it, and then looking at pencil markings insides - I can remember what I was thinking at the time and why I've still got it.
When I read a book on the iPad, that's pretty much it. So this digital world, losing its physicality, is fundamentally more superficial, more trivial. We can surround ourselves with digital this and that - but we can't change the fact that we're sacks of flesh and organs that interact in a tactile way in the here and now.
For the 4th time in the last 5 years, the @TexasLonghorns and AD @_delconte have won the NACDA Directors' Cup for being the nations top overall athletic department.
Congratulations to all the athletes, coaches and staff for winning this prestigious award!

Good books immerse you in a new world. Great books introduce you to a new worldview.
Good books are page-turners—they're meant to be devoured. Great books are corner-folders—they're made to be savored.
Good books keep you engaged. Great books leave you changed.
