No cutting for now and other stuff

[jeffreyab]

Well I saw the surgeon on Thursday and after an exam and a chat we talked it over and I am holding off on surgery for now since it may not change anything in my case.

In other news I have been spending more time with members of the book club.

Tuesday two of us saw Fahrenheit 9/11 an interesting movie with angles I had not seen in the reviews and previews. It is what I have coined "found drama" drama found in archival material and everyday life like found humour only serious. It is defintely not a straight documentary. A one point it talks about United Defense and how it makes the M-2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle (US) and it shows footage but of a Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle (UK.) A nit for me but a sign Moore does not do all his homework.

Finished reading a book on the Falklands Islands War of 1982 that reinforces the rule to check your sources for bias even if they are primary sources. A hero of one of the first books I read on the war turns out to have been a bit of a loose cannon and it puts him in a less good light.

Finally anyone know of any good sources for starting meditation and does anyone want to go dancing?

I just realized its been over a year since I have gone out dancing.

canadian mental health does something called learning to unwind. it's a series where you can learn about various relaxation methods - including meditation. if you're interested, they usually offer it in the fall. 337-5411 is the number to call.

I hear you are looking for new social outlets, so why not try the Sarnia Library book club?

We are going to read 3001 by Arthur Clarke.

Please bring Brad too!
