Driving around in my automobile

One of the many hats I wear is professional heart patient. I’m a pro because I’ve been doing it for a decade. When the heart failure first struck because we didn’t know how I would fare until at least a year in and I was very anxious and at times depressed with great trouble sleeping. For these reasons I initially sought out a cardiac psychologist and of course, I had to go to a psychiatrist for medication management.I still see the shrink every three months in a maintenance mode. My session lasts for approximately 5 minutes. Anyway, the office is located way on the other side of town and after last night’s cotton ball snowflake show, I thought I’d take the camera to see if there were any shots of the “aftermath.”

I’m reading ‘On Chesil Beach’

   Posted by: Caprica    in blogging, books

And there’s really no reason anyone should care what I think of it but I like it; it’s a compelling read, study of two young newlyweds on their wedding night in 1962.

I read on the jacket blurb that author Ian McEwan “is the master clockmaster of novelists.”

Nicely said and very high praise from… Oh, no surprise(lol) the NYTtimes.com Book Review which I sometimes read if a book sounds compelling. This one–Chesil Beach was in the top 50 of 2007 for fiction… it’s quite a short book, 208 pages (I looked). It’s hardcover, about the size of a pocketbook/paperback. Kinda nice. Anyway, one more post tonight, maybe a comment at GBee’s as she responded to one of mine on a humour post of hers…Niiight. :)
