May. 3rd, 2023 10:08 pmWork was sluggish - so I revised my novel and flirted with potential trips. Currently looking at Canadian excursions - it's for July and August, so I don't want to go where it is hot.
Kriplau sent me a catalogue, which while tempting, I'm not a huge yoga enthusiast. It bores me. Also I can't physically do most of it, never could.
Oh well, like I said previously, it's not like I'm not going anywhere. I'm visiting my brother, his wife, my niece and my Mother upstate and in Mass in about two-three weeks.

Killing John Wayne
Took another brief detour to dump a ton of information about the atomic bomb testing in the US and Russia from roughly 1950-1961 or thereabouts. And all the thyroid cancer cases that popped up in St. George Utah around that period of time. In children, no less. Plus all the gastrointestinal cancer cases, leukemia, and various others - that up until that point had been relatively rare and unknown.
Add to that Dick Powell who directed the film is diagnosed with throat cancer, which spreads in 1962. Allyson originally thinks smoking is the cause, but later she blames the movie.
They really go into detail about the atomic bomb testing. ( Read more... )
Still in a reading slump. I decided to pick up the sequel to River Enchanted, entitled a Fire Burns Below, I think. I keep forgetting the title. The first book ended kind of abruptly, so I wanted to see what happened to the characters.
I need a good book to read. The sort that you can't wait to pick up.
