Yesterday he had the chance to read his poem at the Austin International Poetry Festival. He did a great job.
Me and the Court
by Tyler Self
Down the court I shoot baskets.
When I dribble it feels so fun. I think the fun of basketball has just begun.
I use defense and jump a lot.
Very tiring, but it’s worth a shot.
In offense I am aggressive.
Like Michael Jordan, I want to be impressive.
Thump, Thump I dribble on the court.
I go to the basket and make a dunk.
Basketball and I will be friends forever.

I hope I can get just a little bit better.

Ashley! I have enjoyed looking at your pics! The boys are getting so big!! You all look great!
Hi Ashley! This is Nicole Lawrence. Somehow I lost your address. Do you think you could send it to me via e-mail? We're getting ready to send out invitations for the wedding, and though I know y'all won't be able to make it due to location, I still want you to receive an invitation to know that you guys are thought of and missed! Tell the boys I say hi and miss babysitting them!! God bless you.
