differnt things I forgot to post last time.

I have a kindle

Liz watches fareed zakaria on Sunday news show.
I say she does because he looks like Omar Shariff (she has made me watch Doctor Zhivago a gillion times) but she says he's intelligent and doesn't paint everything with the same brush. So I watch him too. If you wait until the end of his show he recommends a book for the week... something that is meaningful and intelligent. He does this every week. A "meaningful and intelligent book" every week? A perfect play on my [lack of] intellect then because it takes me three weeks to get through just one of those!
But to my point, I have a kindle now and read this way.

 

It is easier to read than print on paper. Takes some getting used to but I am now hooked. At low light it still has contrast... my cataracts do not complain at all.

So when Fareed says I should read a book I tend to agree and download immediately and wirelessly and without effort... to my reader. The problem is I have to pay Amazon for each one (almost as much as a paperback price). Actually that is not the main problem. The main problem is since Fareed recommends one per week I am getting loaded up with too many books! I either have to stop watching him or practice some other kind of self control not associated with one-click credit card purchases :(

So anyway I finally finished the Iraq book my Michael Isikov, "Hubris.... something" and now I am also creating a library of my favorite detective mystery authors like Robert Parker, Michael Connely, and Robert Crais. As long as Amazon has my CC number they keep asking me if I want another. Kindle is great! but expensive.

I can hold 3000 books in this one device.

I had cancer

Left this for last.

Basal Cell Carcinoma.

All cut off my forehead.

Not malignant.

All clean and good.

Will probably get more but wont kill me in advance of any other malady...Siddhartha says I think.

Cheers
