I think the Ginko Biloba is working. I'm not stuttering as much and I can remember things
easier. Even if it's a placebo effect, it's working and that's what matters.

I've almost got a sore throat. It's rough and sort of hurts, but doesn't exactly. Obviously it's time
for lots of tea and hoping I don't get sick, 'cause I *hate* summer colds. They seem so
completely unfair.

Finished reading Callahan's Con yesterday. I liked it so much more than Callahan's Key.
I don't want to sound like a snot, but it felt like he was trying again with this one.

One of the main reasons I liked it was because he didn't try to save the damn world again. You
really can only go to the well so many times before you come back with a bucket of mud.

If Key had ended with them finding the compound and setting up the bar, I think it would have
been much better.

This one took me a while to get into, but the meat of the story was quite good, he cleared up a
*Lot* of problems from Key and gave a beloved character a wonderful send off that honest to
ghods brought tears to my eyes. If there is another Callahan's book, I might just buy it in
hardcover. *grin*


~~~

I'm finally reading The Eyre Affair and am finding it *very* interesting so far.

~~~

I would not complain at all if we had some sunny weather. The overcast thing is overdone.

~~~

Hmm...I guess that's it.

Huh. I guess I'll take a chance on this one, based on your rec.

And just finished the Eyre Affair. Very good.

Hm. I still buy all the Callahan's books, but it's been a while since I really liked one. Superbaby saves the world pushed me over the edge.

Overcast? Not here. Obviously, there is a frontal boundary somewhere between us. This is odd.

I think I need Ginko

Good news on the Ginko. Do you take it as a capsule or as a tincture? Very, very interesting. Hmmmm.

Tablets, from Trader Joe's. If you go that route, take them with plenty of water. I take two at a time and *one* always seems to get stuck on the back of my tongue and they taste nasty.

I agree about the Con thing. The only thing I really liked about Key was Pixel, and even that seemed overdone.
