Thing 1 (Me) And Thing 2 (Maddie)

I got a few talking Dr Seuss books on the iPhone and Maddie loves when I "read" them to her! And it's good for me as I have lost my voice to a cold. Bedtime is fun again!

Books. Yes, Books. And More Books

We love books. All of us. We're all big readers, when we have the time. Books are everywhere in our house, in every form.

Nuclear Me

Tomorrow I go in for a Thallium Stress Test. This exotic pleasure was brought on by an off-the-cuff mention I made during my physical exam that my heart sometimes skips beats. Apparently this test involves a treadmill workout, followed by an injection of a radioactive isotope into my veins and subsequent photographs with a Gamma Camera to see if some areas of my ticker are not getting as much blood as they deserve. Then I get a 2-3 hour rest on a flat table and more nuclear pics. They told me to bring a book.

This should effectively kill an afternoon for me, and cost me as much as a one-year membership to Fitness USA.
