next to each book as I read this year. I have replaced this method with a simple line-through of the entry upon completion.I feel really bad about not having finished a book yet this year (although I have finished three audiobooks so far) so tonight I picked up The Time Machine and expect to finish it before bed. I'm on schedule to finish Body of Secrets by Saturday. Not quite up to the month's five, but being done with this 613-page monster (I'm not reading the appendices or footnotes, which add another 100 pages) will be a feat. I actually started reading the book in the Spring of 2004.
In other news, there is none. I've driven nearly 500 miles since yesterday morning, and I listened to Bob Dole's book in its entirety just today. I did have my first therapy session of the year this afternoon, though, and I think it did some good. I still don't have a proper pair of shoes, and we did take a cart, but golfing today really brought my spirits up and helped me to relax. Listening to the breeze is a form of meditation in my opinion, and meditating helps the concentration level whilst swinging. I only lost four balls in the woods, including the one I skipped across a water hazard. I wanted to reward the ball for its courage and aqua-defiance, but I wasn't going to risk an alligator attack in order to do so.
The course today was very mushy and unkept. The tenant said the place was built in the 1930s, which is probably the last time someone did some major cleaning in the wooded areas. Filthy course. I'm sure my score would have been really bad, and not just because of my short game. At least three of the greens had some variant of leprosy. Other greens were pristine, but a few actually looked worse than the preceding sand trap. They putted as well, too.
All in all, though, I had fun today. I believe I'll have a chance to go several more times this year, especially during the summer. I would like to say I'll go, and maybe I just will.
