Health Update: They now tell me they will release me Thursday when the antibiotic
course is done. I’m back down to 3-4 lpm of O2 sitting, more for walking. I
will be taking a CPAP/BiPAP home with me to help keep the airway open nights
and as much as possible during the days. Then I will come in for the next
bronchoscopy when the custom, handmade stent comes in from France. Sacré Bleu, Monsieur, we have been working
35 hours per week—we need our five-week vacations this summer! ~Bob
Book Recommendation: The Curmudgeon's Guide
to Getting Ahead: Dos and Don'ts of Right Behavior, Tough Thinking, Clear
Writing, and Living a Good Life
by Charles Murray
This wonderful book was given to me by my friend Chuck to read
in the hospital, which I did in under two days, despite time out to be poked by
various healthcare professionals. Its major drawback is that it was published
in 2014, and I really needed it in 1969. This is the perfect gift for your
college students or recent graduates, provided they are literate and can read
and comprehend above the newspaper level, which has dropped from 8th
grade reading in recent years to The
Little Engine That Could level. It assumes the reader is in his/her
twenties, bright and looking to get ahead. There are pretty much three
sections, one on developing a successful career, one on becoming a great
writer, which I wish I had read 25 years ago, and a final one on having a good
life. There was little I disagree with, and I’m probably wrong where I do. I
highly recommend this book.
