Brown Paper Wrapper
I am actually reading a book that I can't bring into work to read during lunch. Last week on NPR Mary Roach was being interviewed about her new book: Bonk - The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex. She has thoroughly researched a book about the history of the scientific study of sex. This includes everything from the researchers lives, to the instruments they invented and the results they measured. There was a funny quote from Kinsey during the interview so I told the hubby about it.
Saturday the hubby took his car to the oil change place next to the Borders. He saw the book on an end cap and remembered me talking about it so he brought it home. It is fascinating - like a car wreck. Mary Roach has a good sense of humor though, and her footnotes are as entertaining as they are in a Terry Pratchett novel. So far it's an excellent read and yes, I'm learning a lot too.
Went back to the other gym today. I think I'm getting into the rowing machine. Rather than switch gyms though I think I'll just invest the money it would cost to change in my own rowing machine if I can find one that stores under the couch. Other than that I like the gyms about equally.
