So far in 2006, I have finished 29 books. In 2005, I finished 67 for the whole year. I'm way ahead this year. Which explains why I haven't been writing much. Reading is fundamental.

I finished Cell, and it was eh. Disappointing, and not up to Stephen King's usual quality of work. Could have worked as a short story or novella, and the ending..... it was like he got tired of writing and couldn't figure out what the resolution should have been, so he just quit.

I did talk to Ed yesterday briefly and we ARE having therapy Wednesday afternoon, which is YAY!!! It's been 3 weeks.

My knee is getting better from when I slipped in the shower, and our carpenter friend who built our deck is going to come and install grab-bars in the bathtub sometime in the near future. Maybe this coming weekend.

Anyway, that's the update. Shower time.
