three things make an entry

Wednesday reading: Last night I finished reading Buddy Holly Is Alive and Well on Ganymede, a weird book that lives up to the title, with noncorporeal beings, a cyborg Doberman, and a narrator whose mother raised him in the Church of Rock and Roll. And, yes, more or less what it says on the tin: Holly is on Ganymede, doing a live concert that is being shown on every television channel on the planet. If that sounds like it might be fun or diverting, I recommend it. (The book is in copyright, but also available free online, the author having apparently decided to give it away in order to get a few more readers.)

I had two good long phone conversations today, in the morning with my friend Elizabeth, and in the afternoon with my mother. Mom is holding up well, though hoping she'll be able to go to the hairdresser again soon. We talked some about that and the varying parameters of stay-at-home orders, or advice, in different places. I called today because T-Mobile sent out a notification yesterday that the free international calling ends tomorrow. So, we'll be back to me emailing and asking her to call me (which she can do for free).

I realized that I haven't been reaching my exercise goals, so for a bit I'm going to do fewer of each exercise, in the hope of getting in at least some of more kinds of exercise. (These are mostly PT-related or derived, which is why I try to do each of them at least once a week; I have at least one I haven't done since the beginning of the month.)
