Spent most of the morning looking up ISBN's of back installments of a biblical studies series that the religion dept. wants a complete set of. Also took advantage of some free health screenings on campus--ECG, blood test, bone density, urinalysis, body fat percentage, etc. On top of that, in the afternoon I scooted over to Lockney to see the G.P., who gave me some Zantac for the acid reflux and also ran through a list of verboten foods and beverages, all of which are among my favorites: caffeine, alcohol, milk, spicy food, even peppermints. He did say I had a "good slow heartbeat" and asked if I ran.

Two weeks now without seeing a movie. No problems so far--I'm rediscovering that reading is more pleasurable anyway. Currently going through Fish Dinner in Memison and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Why are the Brits so good?
