It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. It's "where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week.  It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list."


Oh, yeah, Nashville.  Doctors ordered Donna, my best friend, here for tests at Vanderbilt Medical Center.  They found pulmonary hypertension when she was hospitalized with the flu in January.  So I'm with her.

(It's wonderful to find lodging where there's wi-fi for composing and scheduling this post last night.  I think the day will come when we are always connected, though that may be right before we ruin the world forever, perhaps by some nuclear disaster like Japan's.)
