MY ODD OBSESSION
The following pictures and videos depict the two primary towns I wrote about–Two Harbors, Minnesota and Canadian, Texas. But I go far beyond. I have a bit of an abnormal obsession with sports venues. The pictures below are of the towns and venues I stopped by during the past year while writing the story until its completion.
I’ve included of sports venues including football and baseball fields along with pictures of water towers–yes, another obsession of mine. To view the entire Table of Contents, click on that little icon on the far right side of the menu bar.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look.

Where can we buy the book? This is Wyatt Davis’s dad. He was 44. You and I spoke several times on the field before games. 806-681-1251
Hi Justin,
I certainly remember our discussions. I’ve also been following Wyatt’s progress during the past year. I hope all goes well for him at Johns Hopkins! Thanks for the message. At this time, it’s only available online. My preference has been to allow people to read what I wrote for free (online) rather than forcing them to pay for a book. But, I know many people prefer to have a book in their hands. So, within the next couple of months, I’ll make that available. I’ll also record an audio version of the book. So, stay tuned. I’ll let everyone know when the printed version is available. I hope all is well.
Tom
Tom, I can’t stop rereading all of these. I hope we will be able to get together to share a game either in Canadian or Golden one of these days soon. Keep writing!
Thank you, and yes we’ll definitely meet in person sometime soon!
