Where Have You Been, Mrs. Robinson?

 Now that I have your attention, let me explain. I am talking about my  own  absence from the blog. In a sentence - I have been busy with medical visits and preparing for next week's book group meeting.

The medical appointments have all been normal follow-up visits with my docotrs. In one case, my diabetes is being handled by the endocronology department now instead of my primary care doctor (though he will remain in the loop). And they are not over yet. I have a urologist, a demotologist, a podiatrist, and a sleep specialist on my calendar before the end of the calendar year.

As far as the preparation for this month's book club, I am the discussion leader this time. The book, "when Books Went to War", is about the program America had to provide small, specially-made paperback books for the servicemen and women during WWII. As discussion leader I was responnsible for developing the questions. I actually found some online and a few of my own.

My current reading comes and goes. Books that I am currently reading: in fiction, "The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins and "The Hunting Party" by Linda Foley. My nonfiction are "The Pity of It All" by Amos Elon, "Good-Bye to All That" by Robert Graves, and "Mind of the Raven" by Bernd Heinrich.

All good reads.
