So some time has passed by as it always does when our earth continues to rotate. I do not want it to stop...rotating, I mean. I am here @ work @ the library. Slower day but will be driving my nearly dead Jeep home in less than an hour. Kevin will be there to greet me...I imagine him sitting in his normal spot on the couch where he likes to work, read, & watch TV. I don't have anything in particular to say today. I was listening to a podcast as I slowly jogged my 6 miles early this morning. NPR has wonderful literature downloads which for me lately has been what keeps my feet moving ahead as I jog. I feel like quitting jogging. But back to my podcast..it is called 'selected shorts'...btwn 2-4 short stories are read....this particular show featured Julie Otsuko ('When the Emperor was Divine') who read the 1st chapter of her upcoming novel '1919'...a large group of Japanese women were sailing across the Pacific to America to encounter their American husbands....they were purchased brides anticipating a better life in America rather than in the rice paddies. It will be a must read when finally published. Terry Gross of Fresh Air interviews Frank Owen author of 'No Speed Limit...'--a history of methamphetamine. My jog concluded with only hearing the 1st part of the interview...intriguing that docs prior to 1970 prescribed this drug for multiple reasons...depression, parkinson's, etc...so I anticipate the rest of the interview manana when I exercise.
that's all.
