     Being 84 is not so old after all. This morning, being in my 80’s is really OK.  Lots of my friends are in their 80’s. However, most of the obituaries in the NYTimes are of people in their 80s and older. Somehow the grief of being old has lifted.

     Rushdie’s book KNIFE, is stimulating as he describes the experiences of the near fatal assignation attempt with a knife. I do like medical stories and he is a good writer.

     More song birds have arrived in the garden this week. Some are staying, others are tourists on their way to a better destination.

     And yet, Monday is monthly chemo day again.  A friend is giving me a ride for the two hour procedure at the cancer center. Sigh.
