Rose and dashed off to grocery bingo. Then off to Kroger for liniment especially.
Latest word on Bill, our tai chi teacher, is that he has shingles. My hunch is that he has always had shingles outbreak, not poison ivy.
Folklore. One woman was telling about some friend whose shingles brought on Alzheimers.
Speaking of Alzheimers, our neighbor Jessie gets worse and worse.

Slept for three hours. Woke up, ate supper, slept for two more. My shoulder no longer hurts. Not getting much reading done today. Listening to Shelby Foote and the Gettysburg campaign. I had never read much about what was going on in the Confederate states.

Took dogs to park. Came home and spent an hour or so at marilyn's. Oda Mae and Mildred are taking care of her.

BOOK REVIEW
Laura Lippman, *In Big Trouble*
This is one in a series about Tess Monoghan, a PI in Baltimore, MD. I was carried away by the book jacket which says that a new case "will end far away in another world, where people dress and talk differently." I thot she was going off planet. Turns out she was going to San Antonio.
Her former boy friend vanishes, and she is hired by the guy's parents to find him. The trail leads to Austin, TX, and on to San Antonio. Several bodies along the way.
