Yesterday afternoon I spent several hours reading for Evidence class.  And yes, it's getting a little more complicated; it's those pesky exceptions, written into every rule, that keep turning black and white into gray!



  In the evening I watched the next episode of The Vietnam War,
and then the premiere of The Good Doctor

Shaun Murphy, a young autistic surgeon who has savant syndrome, relocates from a quiet country life to join the surgical unit at the prestigious San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital -- a move strongly supported by his mentor, Dr. Aaron Glassman. Having survived a troubled childhood, Shaun is alone in the world and unable to personally connect with those around him, but he finds his niche using his extraordinary medical skill and intuition to save lives and challenge the skepticism of his colleagues.

I like the premise, though there were definitely things that strained credulity.  Coincidentally, the book I am currently reading, Love That Boy by Ron Fournier, is an "illuminating and touching book [that] gives us the great gift of letting us know and appreciate the Asperger's world of young Tyler Fournier." 


Below is an interview with the author, a political columnist.



Yesterday afternoon and evening I was clearly feeling the after-effects of Sunday's workout, and I woke up still sore this morning - though of course it might work itself out.  

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the pain and stiffness felt in muscles several hours to days after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise.



It was actually a tad nippy in the house this morning, and when I got up at 6:00 I felt the need to slip on a light robe!  It is going to warm up over the next few days (and threatens to reach triple digits again by the weekend) but we all know that the end of the brutal summer heat is once again in sight!
