I'm counting down the days!!  1 more month to the day. I can almost feel myself able to breathe. I have such a list, not to mention magazines that are stacking up. I feel some "all nighters" coming my way this summer.

I've also begun reading 1776 by David McCullough...for.when Eleanor of Aquitaine becomes too dry. Plus, I just love that era in history. And I hear good things about Mr. McCullough.. This will be the first book of his that I read.

 Got this from the Library yesterday. Looks to be a really interesting read. " This captivating bestseller tells the true story of a miraculous encounter between a teenaged girl and a baby whale off the coast of California. It was the dark of early morning; Lynne was swimming her last half mile back to the pier after a long workout when she became aware that something was swimming with her. The ocean was charged with energy as if a squall was moving in; whatever it was felt large enough to be a white shark coursing beneath her body. In fact, it was a baby gray whale following alongside her. Lynne quickly realized that if she swam back to the pier, the young calf would follow her onto shore and die from collapsed lungs. On the other hand, if Lynne didn't find the mother whale, the baby would suffer from dehydration and starve to death. Something so enormous --the mother whale would be at least fifty feet long --suddenly seemed very small in the vast Pacific Ocean. How could Lynne possibly find her? This is the story--part mystery, part magical tale--of what happened."

Lately I've been reading primarily extensive work-related materials, which can be time consuming.
But I recently read an interesting article in The Journal of American Medicine, concerning wage differentials among nursing professionals. The troubling aspect in that short study revealed that male nurses were often better compensated vs their female counterparts. Not sure what to think about the data presented in the study, but it's a harsh reminder that women are not receiving equitable treatment and are marginalized in what has typically been anchored by an predominant female work force (body of labor). Reference: J.A.M.A., March 24/31, 2015, vol. 313, issue 12, pp., 1265.

I just finished reading two books that made my blood boil! Extortion and Throw Them All Out by Peter Schweizer (yes, he's the author of Clinton Cash too)
These tell about the wheeling and dealings that politicians make that are 100% legal for THEM but should the average Joe do them, they'd wind up in jail! |
