If a body were to be likened to a car, then one could say that an aging body, like an older car, will eventually require more than an oil change, a multi-point inspection, a tire rotation, and an alignment to continue running (set aside smoothly). I’m an older car. More than one mechanic and more than one service appointment were required. And that’s really all I need say about that.

It’s back to walking several miles a day, practicing my music, reading, and studying. Today’s books are Pericles (in anticipation of this) and John Banville’s The Sea.
