Book excerpt: In this unique book of correspondence, two men from different generations write to each other about the burdens, anxieties, and singular joys of parenthood. Thirtysomething Charles Demers and 80-year-old George Bowering are both celebrated authors and the best of friends, and soon both will be the fathers of daughters. The letters begin as Charles and his wife discover they will become parents; he expresses his hopes and fears of impending fatherhood, compounded by his OCD and his own father's illness, while George recalls his own experiences raising a daughter in the 1970s and his own anxieties about bringing a child into a troubled world. Together, their thoughtful, funny, candid missives reveal what fathers know (or don't know) about raising daughters, as well as themselves and each other. Their combined observations make for a passionate, funny and moving portrait of fatherhood in all its imperfect, beautiful glory. George Bowering is Canada's first poet laureate and an officer of the Order of Canada. He is the author of more than eighty books, the most recent of which include The Hockey Scribbler, Writing the Okanagan, and Pinboy. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.

He makes up his mind to go into the woods and get a Christmas tree to decorate. Charlie packs warm clothes and is ready to go on his adventure. While Charlie sings his favorite Christmas song, the tree he picked starts to shine and glow. It was a magical moment for him in the forest. It's like the tree reacts to his happy music by getting brighter with each note. Charlie is so happy that he decorates the tree by hand with bells, bright ribbons, and pinecones made from twigs and leaves.

As the clock hits midnight, Charlie makes a wish for his family, friends, and everyone else gathered around the magical tree to be happy, loved, and successful. A shooting star flashes across the sky, letting him know that what he wanted has come true. Charlie's family spends Christmas with a tree that is decorated with love and memories that are very important to them. They tell Charlie how much they appreciate him teaching them the real meaning of Christmas. The people in the area go back to see the miracle tree one more time and give food and blankets to the birds and animals that have made it their home.

Charlie's Christmas miracle becomes a beloved story that is told from one generation to the next. It reminds everyone that the real magic of Christmas is love, kindness, and joy shared with others. It shows that Christmas is a feeling that can be found in the smallest acts of kindness and in the strangest places. Charlie's Christmas miracle will always be a source of hope, inspiring people to enjoy the spirit of Christmas in their everyday lives. The Story's Start: A little boy named Charlie used to live in a town surrounded by snowy hills. He was a happy, kind young man who loved Christmas more than anything else. It warmed his heart to see all the bright lights, smell the fresh cookies, and give and receive gifts. The small town was turned into a snow wonderland every December. Snowflakes would fall from the sky and cover the land in a beautiful, shiny blanket. The streets were full of the laughter of kids building snowmen and having snowball fights, and the homes were lit up with bright lights. But Charlie's Christmas was really amazing because of how much his family loved and cared for him. The house where Charlie's family lived was nice and on the edge of town. The smell of fresh cookies and the sound of laughter could always be heard in their house. They loved their child very much, and they loved Christmas as much as he did. They would make wonderful Christmas memories together. Charlie loved the event where everyone decorated the Christmas tree every year. In their cozy living room, they would gather around a beautiful evergreen tree that reached almost to the roof. The tree was placed by Charlie's grandfather a long time ago. It has grown tall and strong, just like their love for each other. It would take the Thompsons hours to find the perfect ornaments to put on the tree. Each ornament held a special memory for the person who owned it, like the bright construction paper and glitter ornament Charlie made in kindergarten or the beautiful glass ornament that has been passed down from generation to generation. As they put up the tree, they sang their favorite Christmas songs, which made their hearts full of love and joy. When Charlie's family was decorating the tree one cold December night, Charlie's dad saw a sad look on his son's face. He got down on his knees and asked Charlie, "What's wrong, buddy?" Mr. Thompson knew that his son wanted to see the magic of the Christmas lights show, but they hadn't been able to buy any lights lately because money was tight. He looked at his wife, and the two of them shared a knowing look. Mrs. Thompson smiled and said, "Charlie, you know that the true magic of Christmas isn't in the lights or the decorations. It's in the love we share with each other. Let's make this Christmas special in our own way." Charlie tried to smile as he nodded, but he couldn't help but feel a little let down. That night, Charlie thought about what his mom had said as he lay in his warm bed. But even though he knew she was right, he still had to see the amazing light show that everyone was talking about. As he fell asleep, he wished on a sparkling star that there was a way for him to feel the magic of the lights. The next morning, Charlie woke up to find that there was new snow on everything outside. Getting out of bed and running to the window made his heartbeat fast with excitement. Everything looks and feels more beautiful when it snows, and it did today. After breakfast, Charlie chose to take a walk around town. As he walked through the snowy streets, he couldn't help but notice that everyone was busy getting ready for Christmas. Shop owners put flowers in their windows, families got warm to go ice skating, and friends gave each other gifts. Charlie couldn't help but feel left out. He wished he could be a part of all the holiday activities and share the joy of the season with his friends. He saw a sign in the town center that said, "Christmas Lights Display Tonight!" as he walked across town. Charlie's heartbeat faster. The show was tonight, but he didn't have any lights to add to it. There was magic around him, but he didn't know how to join in. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice he knew calling his name. Emily was his best friend. She ran up to him quickly and smiled big. It was "Charlie!" she yelled. "Guess what? Our family has some extra Christmas lights, and we don't know what to do with them. Would you like to help us decorate our house for the display tonight?" Charlie's eyes sparkled with joy. "Oh, Emily, that would be great! Thanks so much!" Charlie put up Christmas lights on Emily's family's house in the afternoon. They put them around the windows and hung them over the bushes. Charles couldn't believe how lucky he was. He was going to be a part of the beautiful light show, after all. As night fell, Charlie, Emily, and her family joined the other people in the town square. It looked like something from a fairy tale because the whole square was lit up with bright lights. It looked like the stars, clouds, and even a huge Christmas tree was lit up with hundreds of lights. Charlie's family would put up their Christmas tree together every year. They would sing Christmas songs and hang colored ornaments and gold tinsel for hours on end. But this year was different. Charlie's family was having money problems, so they couldn't buy a Christmas tree or any other decorations. As Charlie looked on, his friends and neighbors were decorating their houses for the holidays. It broke his heart. For as long as Charlie could remember, the best part of the holiday season was always decorating the Christmas tree. It was a beloved tradition that brought his family closer together and made memories that would last a lifetime. Every year, they would plan to start this great project on a weekend in early December.

Download or read book Finley Ball written by Nancy Finley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a losing baseball team that became a 1970s dynasty, thanks to the unorthodox strategies and stunts of two very colorful men. When Charlie Finley bought the A's in 1960, he was an outsider to the game—a insurance businessman with a larger-than-life personality. He brought his cousin Carl on as his right-hand man, moved the team from Kansas City to Oakland, and pioneered a new way to put together a winning team. With legendary players like Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, and Vida Blue, the Finleys' Oakland A's won three straight World Series and riveted the nation. Now Carl Finley's daughter Nancy reveals the whole story behind her family's winning legacy—how her father and uncle developed their scouting strategy, why they employed odd gimmicks like orange baseballs and "mustache bonuses," and how the success of the '70s Oakland A's changed the game of baseball.
