I think I only have one person left to interview for the book. Last week, I finally tracked down my elusive "boy expert" - a man with whom I had been trying to connect since 2009. When the interview finally took place, he turned out to be extremely helpful, charming and gracious. Almost worth the 2 year wait.
But there is one more request from my editor that I'm still chasing down. In a section about football moms, I refer to Char McNabb, the mother of NFL great Donovan McNabb. I quote from her blog, but of course my editor would prefer a direct interview. Again I've been trying to reach out to Mrs. McNabb, known as "America's Sports Mom" for quite some time. But yesterday I heard from a lawyer who represents the McNabb family, and I was asked to send written information about who I am, my project and some sample questions. Progress! I think she would add a very valuable - not to mention unique - perspective on the mother-son relationship.
