Larry and I want to keep our minds as young as possible, so we are trying some supposed strategies for maintaining mental functions. He is determined to read some great books. So far, he's tried Faulkner and Hemingway. Faulkner was a bust and Hemingway was OK. Now he is trying Edith Wharton. I suppose I'll try reading the same book so we can have our own private book club going. I myself will read a serious novel maybe one out of seven books I read. Currently I'm reading "Cool in Tucson" by Elizabeth Gunn. It's a mystery set in Tucson, of course. It has lots of local color. I'm not far enough into it to decide how well I like it, but so far it's not bad. I'm listening to the latest Inspector Linley novel by Seattle writer Elizabeth George. It's set in London, though, which makes it fun.
My new mind development project is to learn how to do Sudoku puzzles. Larry is a whiz at them. I find them hard. I'm asking him to give me lessons. So far, it's slow!
