Eric likes taking risks like driving fast and flying his airplane upside down. Christin likes going to the Mall and reading a good book. Then one day, Christin takes a ride in Eric’s plane and things were never the same for them again. When opposites attract, a bond can be formed that is unbreakable; even when life happens.

After a three-decade career of writing humorous, nostalgic books, stories, articles, and columns about the Great Outdoors, country living, hunting and fishing, raising kids, praising God, and enjoying life, Robert Hitt Neill turns to telling a real-life Love Story of his 55-year marriage to Betsy, "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World." Once nominated for Southern Gentleman of the Year, Robert Hitt Neill, like any other Southern Gentleman, admits to having "Married Above Myself" to Betsy, a Beauty Queen at Ole Miss, a school renowned for the beauty of its Co-eds. "Betsy Hahpuh" survived being a Navy wife, becoming the Mistress of Brownspur Plantation during the times of bountiful harvests or drought and record-rain falls, raising three children with the Neill Brand as well as their friends, enduring being written-about by her prolific storyteller husband, then accompanying him to prison -- in the world's largest prison ministry! "The Book of Betsy: Forever 19," is an epic real-life Love Story of a couple upon whom God poured out many Joyous Blessings as they dealt with the many hardships and heartbreaks of life, ending with the tragic death of Betsy the week of their 55th Anniversary. But life doesn't end there, nor does this book. As Bob seeks to catch Covid, so as to join Betsy in Heaven, he has an unexpected lunch meeting with her Ole Miss sorority sister, roommate, and best friend, Cindy. There follows an "Epilogue: Can There Be Love After Love?" Here is a hint: "Yes!"
"I know that I'll be evaluated in Seattle with wins and losses, as that is the nature of my profession for the last thirty-five years. But our record will not be what motivates me. Years ago I was asked, 'Pete, which is better: winning or competing?' My response was instantaneous: 'Competing. . . because it lasts longer.'" Pete Carroll is one of the most successful coaches in football today. As the head coach at USC, he brought the Trojans back to national prominence, amassing a 97-19 record over nine seasons. Now he shares the championship-winning philosophy that led USC to seven straight Pac-10 titles. This same mind-set and culture will shape his program as he returns to the NFL to coach the Seattle Seahawks. Carroll developed his unique coaching style by trial and error over his career. He learned that you get better results by teaching instead of screaming, and by helping players grow as people, not just on the field. He learned that an upbeat, energetic atmosphere in the locker room can coexist with an unstoppable competitive drive. He learned why you should stop worrying about your opponents, why you should always act as if the whole world is watching, and many other contrarian insights. Carroll shows us how the Win Forever philosophy really works, both in NCAA Division I competition and in the NFL. He reveals how his recruiting strategies, training routines, and game-day rituals preserve a team's culture year after year, during championship seasons and disappointing seasons alike. Win Forever is about more than winning football games; it's about maximizing your potential in every aspect of your life. Carroll has taught business leaders facing tough challenges. He has helped troubled kids on the streets of Los Angeles through his foundation A Better LA. His words are true in any situation: "If you want to win forever, always compete."
The relationship between language and music has much in common - rhythm, structure, sound, metaphor. Exploring the phenomena of song and performance, this book presents a sociolinguistic model for analysing them. Based on ethnomusicologist John Blacking's contention that any song performed communally is a 'folk song' regardless of its generic origins, it argues that folk song to a far greater extent than other song genres displays 'communal' or 'inclusive' types of performance. The defining feature of folk song as a multi-modal instantiation of music and language is its participatory nature, making it ideal for sociolinguistic analysis. In this sense, a folk song is the product of specific types of developing social interaction whose major purpose is the construction of a temporally and locally based community. Through repeated instantiations, this can lead to disparate communities of practice, which, over time, develop sociocultural registers and a communal stance towards aspects of meaningful events in everyday lives that become typical of a discourse community.
