In other news, I am being treated for carpal tunnel syndrome. I went to the doctor before it got really bad -- and so far it is not affecting my ability to function in major ways -- but it is an annoyance nonetheless.
I have decided to resume working on my book, too. Well, maybe decided is not the right word -- I am being called back to it. I set it aside when I realized I wasn't sure of what I was trying to say. Now I have a clearer idea of where I want to go with things. The only fear I have is whether or not anyone will be interested in reading Loony IdeasTM from someone who doesn't have a PhD.
Actually I'm not terribly worried about that. I am primarily writing for me, to collect my thoughts in one place, and if any of it is worthwhile, I sense that readers will find it somehow.

Congratulations on your writing, I enjoy hearing what
you have to say.
Yesterday I did some interesting reading. I determined
that the two bibles I wanted were the Good News Bible and the New Jerusalem Bible. I was able to get a GNB, hardcover, illustrated, for CANADIAN $4.00, could not find a New Jerusalem. But I did find a paperback Psalms, from the Jerusalem Bible, a beautiful and poetic translation indeed, for only CAN $2.00.
Today I got two pristine paperbacks for CAN $4.00: THE NAKED APE, by Desmond Morris, and THE POWER OF MYTH, by Joseph Campbell. Books are cheap here.

That would ALMOST be enough to entice me to move to a frozen wasteland. ::wide grin::
Do you have a copy of the HarperCollins Study Bible? Since I bought that a year ago, I've been raving about it to anyone who will listen. It has turned out to be an extremely good investment. The volume is basically a very heavily annotated NRSV.
