Happy Birthday, Coach Wooden

It's my annual Happy Birthday wish to Coach John Wooden, one of my heroes. He's a philosopher, a poet, and a generous soul whose wisdom and grace has influenced people on and off the basketball court for over 70 years. I just missed a chance to see and hear the guy speak at a little church in our neighborhood about a year ago, and I understand it was packed. There's not much that would get me to go to church these days, but if it was to see and hear Coach Wooden, I'd be there.

Happy Birthday, Coach. May you have many, many more.
