UltraLongevity: The Seven-Step Program for a Younger, Healthier You by Mark Liponis.  He was on the Rachael Ray Show (love that show--and her magazine too!), and did a very good segment with a 25-year old made over to look like a 46 year old and boy did she look scary!

reading Michael Connelly's Echo Park.  it's nice to find this new book at the library.  


 

Mariachi

 "The Man for a  New Country" by David Ricardo Williams Judge Begbie. I like the judge!

Especially since Judge Begbie, was, you know, the Hanging Judge.

Well, took me almost a week to read this book.  Frankly he doesn't say anything new that we already don't know thanks to Oprah and her Dr. Oz.  The book talked about the immune system and how it is key to keeping us looking younger than our actual age. It is not a diet book or anything like that.   Basically, if you smoke, don't sleep enough, don't breathe right, are eating too many processed foods, aren't having enough sex, aren't taking the time to relax, etc., you'll look older before your actual chronological age.  I would rather have gotten this book from the library for free (but who wants to be #43 on the wait list, eh), but if you're in a hurry and don't mind spending $20 on yet another "sleep 8 hours a night and stop smoking" book, it is worth a look.  

 Now Oprah has me interested in this book, "Eat, Pray, Love."

I'm still reading The Old Patagonian Express - I didn't think it would be so interesting. Reason for the length of time I'm taking is that at the moment I'm just too tired to read when I go to bed.  
A fool's paradise is better than none.

 It's my favorite game piece, actually it's a points counter.
