This weekend was a bust. My back kept me laid up and is causing me trouble even today. I walk with both knees bent and my shoulders hunched over, I walk a little like the orangutans in the first Planet of the Apes. Whenever I pass the full length mirror I yell, "you won't like what you find out there!" to an imaginary Charlton Heston.-Spoiler Alert- He, in fact, does not like what he finds out there. Strangely enough, in the book (yes I read the book) The Charlton Heston character smacks Nova (the hot chick) around- of course it was written in the early 50's by a Frenchman. I'm not judging, I'm just saying- but I digress. The point is I was laid up this weekend.Luckily I ordered a few books from the library and picked them up on Friday- and have spent the entire weekend reading. I also rented the TV show "My Name Is Earl, which is surprisingly funny.
This weekend I've been reading The Razor's Edge by Somerset Maugham. I read this for the first time several years ago and I'm enchanted with it. I've been working on a story that is somewhat similar and have been meaning to re-look at the book- I have not been disappointed.
The point in this whole post is to say that I am a clever little monkey...I mean orangutan and pain has made me loopy and incoherent.

Sorry to hear your back is being such a pain, one can't help but to suggest things...I'll refrain from a litany and just say wet heat. Hot water bottle....okay 2 things...heat and milk if you drink it (or heavy whipping cream). Soothes and heals the nervous system.
Somerset Maugham will help too :) I read everything he ever wrote, amazing author. Hope you are back in the swing of things soon.
Well, being laid up reading isn't the worst thing that could happen...
