I finally made it to Borders and my 2 purchased books lie to my left as I listen to Joe Zawinul wail away on some of his standards (currently “Black Market”) as I admire my newly purchased tomes, their covers, table of contents and fine choice of typeface. The covers are shiny, the pages unstained and unread.
Apparently, no matter what my current state of affairs may be, family, books and music remains a high priority. Now, if I can only get my appetite to follow.
Sunday an AA meeting will be on my agenda followed by a weeks’ worth of activity in just 3 days on Monday. I see Dr. Bluntzer Monday afternoon, Dr. Denham on Tuesday for an MRI and some perfunctory poking and prodding, wrapping up on Wednesday when I return to my former place of employment to say thanks and pay heartfelt goodbye.
Hope I have the stamina, I’ll keep you posted.

I, too, love the unopened book. There is something so satisfying and comforting about studying the cover design, feeling the uncracked binding, reading the foreword and writer's bio, and generally getting a feel for what's to come. I also like to compare my impression of the experience before and after I've read the book - it's always so different! Definitely one of the wonderful things about being a reader:)
