My number one memory of 60 minutes is the feeling of dread and anxiety I felt hearing the ticking clock and knowing that the weekend was over and Monday was almost here.

A child opened an old library book and found a small paper card tucked inside the back cover.

It was covered in dates.

March 4, 1982.
June 17, 1984.
October 9, 1987.
February 22, 1991.
May 6, 1996.

Dozens of little stamps, one beneath another, marking every time the book had left the library in someone else’s hands.

The child stared at it for a while.

“Wait,” she asked. “All these people read the same book?”

Her grandmother smiled.

“Yes,” she said. “That was the point.”

The book was not new. Its corners were soft. The cover was faded. A few pages had been repaired with clear tape. Someone had written a tiny note in pencil near a sentence they must have loved. The whole thing had the feeling of an object that had lived many lives without ever needing to be replaced.

One book. Dozens of readers.

A lonely teenager, maybe. A mother reading after work. A retired man sitting by a window. A child discovering a world bigger than her own neighborhood. People who would never meet, all sharing the same pages across time.

There is something quietly radical about that.

In most of modern life, we are taught that access means ownership. If you need something, buy it. If you use it once, store it forever. If it breaks, replace it. If everyone needs one, then everyone must purchase one.

But a library book tells a different story.

It says one thing can serve many people. It says value does not disappear when something is shared. It says a community can be richer not because every person owns more, but because everyone can access what they need.

That little stamp card was more than a record of due dates.

It was evidence of another kind of economy.

One built on trust. Return. Care. Circulation. Enoughness.

A world where objects do not have to sit unused in private closets while someone else goes without. A world where the same book can pass from hand to hand, gathering memory instead of waste.

Maybe that is why old library books feel so alive.

They remind us that sharing is not a sacrifice. Sometimes sharing is what lets an object become more meaningful.

One book. Many lives.

And a small paper card proving that abundance does not always mean having more.

Image is for demonstration purpose only.

The Tribune did a fun story about how I accidentally turned a 40-year-old book into a national best seller last week.

This woman said: Y’all my sons’ best girl friend came over to hang today and the minute she walked in the door she hugged me and said into my ear: I need to talk to you in private.

Ok girly.

Y’all, she started her period this morning for the first time and her Mom is out of town with the military and she told her older sister, but she didn’t want to ask her Dad for pads.

I only have boys. And they knew something was up, and she kind of danced around it for a bit then told them.

Y’all when I tell you we ---

The moment the Indiana Hoosiers won the National Championship, except the sound you hear is the Jerry Goldsmith score called "The Finals" that played in the movie "Hoosiers" as Jimmy Chitwood hits a game-winning shot

Wanted to share this moment of my dad yesterday.

He moved us to Bloomington when I was 8.

We sat through years of IU football misery as a family.

He teaches sports history at @IndianaUniv.

And yesterday, after decades of waiting, he got to witness it.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message from it.

If our Christianity causes us to get more angry at the idea of a poor person possibly “abusing the system” than we do about the most powerful and wealthy people in our country creating a system that crushes the poor and makes it impossible to get by, we need a grand reversal.

Look at this shit! I put out a small pile of almonds for the local murder and sat and watched them again. These motherfuckers lined up SINGLE FILE and took turns eating a couple almonds and leaving some for the next bird.
