Bets, I've been reading about that book on your thread; sounds interesting. Can you elaborate as to what themes are speaking to you?
Oh and watching you recover from your surgery is totally bringing up all these memories from my earlier appendectomy this year. The multicolored abdomen, the feeling like you are going to pass out from a simple movement to the side, etc etc. Good times, huh.
Hope you are feeling better every day. I keep up with your thread but don't always post because you've got it under control, my dear.
