The juicy details of my personal life or thoughts. (As juicy as it gets around here anyway.)
Someone sent me a link to this site, which has a most interesting premise. Called Bra Free, it pretty much gets to the point.
The good doctor, Elizabeth Vaughn, is not an ob-gyn. She’s actually internal medicine and has lots of experience in emergency care. So the fact that she encourages her patients to go bra free is even more interesting. (Her reasons are mostly medical, but I’m focusing on the cosmetic aspect, of course.)
My lover has an inexplicable, abiding interest in the Holocaust and what the Nazis did. His explanation is that he’s attempting to understand what and how it happened. I see it as little more than car-accident-watching.
He’s reading a new, well-researched book about Auschwitz. While we’re discussing it, I recommend my copy of Night to him. He doesn’t start on it, so I decided to reread it. It’s been many years since the first and only time I read it and I wanted to be sure of my reasons for encouraging him to read it.
I will rarely, if ever again, discuss my nonprofit on this blog. I’ve been offering updates about it on my site and will continue to do updates there. It is a children’s charity and for that reason I do not want it plastered all over this blog or permanently floating all over the Internet (since my site does change and I’ve disallowed archiving, I’m hoping what I write there will not remain).
I reread Hannibal last week (for the umpteenth time). In it, Thomas Harris clearly describes the “memory palace†that Lector built for himself over the years. I haven’t read The Memory Palace of Mateo Ricci because Harris describes the concept clearly.
Here’s a short list of books that I’ve enjoyed and have recommended to a number of people. Books that I recommend to only one or two people don’t make the list. (Books are in no particular order.)
