...just outside of Santa Fe New Mexico. The home is classic old Santa Fe. We ate on the back porch with a roof over us. The view was stunning and we had a monsoon storm going so lots of thunder and lightning with rain to keep it cool. The owner is an attorney and author so I am eyeing all the books.
I went up and took B a glass of water for his medication. That way we can just leave. I will go and return a library book, and get something B would like for breakfast. I need to do a shop and restock.
My T gave me a weird sounding one but it works.
"Orienting to bed." Get in bed, with a book, radio, music player whatever. Relax. Look at your room, your blankets, get comfortable, use lights that are easy to shut off. Read, watch something (control what you watch, make it comedy, or...
There are 4 other book shelves in other rooms as well as boxes of books in storage. When I was married we moved a lot for my wife’s work. One move I counted how many boxes of books I had and it was 50. I think this last move I was down to 20 something. It is a lifetime affliction and I need to...

A few more from Africa. The book shelves are new. I have over 20 boxes of books so I had to do something. I used to have over 50 boxes so I am improving. I am painting the interior so I painted the area around the new shelves. I think it will look nice. I have a new couch on order. Slowly it is...
whats it called when youre reading multiple books
right now I am determined to finish them all before getting a new one
this weeks focus: The Courts of Heaven
Today I read the book “3 Lives” by Gertrude Stein. Very much enjoy her style, it is unique to me and very modern. I think it helps that I read “Mrs. Dalloway” last week. I am starting to understand the early 20th century transition to modernism in literature.
The Cambridge Companion to Jorge Luis Borges. I am a big fan of Borges and I have quit a collection of books by Jim’s and about him. The fun never stops.
