The Body Reader-A Review

It has been a while since I have read a book completely through at one sitting. "The Body Reader" has now joined that select club. The story hits the ground running and never lets up. Set in Minneapolis, Detective Jude Schilling is a surprisingly sympathetic character trying to process her kidnapping and release while working a high profile SVU case, not always successfully. You'll even forget to eat. Another fantastic read from Anne Frasier .

Hey, Heidy and Howdy. It's Harry Handy again, here at WOFT, Old Farts Radio. 109.1 on your FM dial. And how are you lovely Geritol Gents this find spring afternoon?  Me? I'm just happy to be on the right side of the ground and spinning only the finest in golden notes. But to prove to you I am not just a dusty old fart, I have a special item for you.  It is funny how some things will come up.

Moldy golden oldies for the Geritol Generation,spinning the memories of our misspent youth. 2016. Can you believe we've made that long? When we were kids, we said "Don't Trust Anyone Over 30!" Now, we survivors are more than double that. Anyway, it has been a tough year for us old farts, with a lot of our more well known smells having the bells tolled for them. David Bowie...Glenn Frey...Prince...And the rest of our heroes look like this: Yeah, we are all a bunch of old, decrepit hippies at heart, syncing our pacemakers and eating our bran based granola to a little more out of life. (For the record, That is Mr. Wavy Gravy, seated on the left, Dr. John Hook in the middle and Mr. Arlo Guthrie on the right. All right and true messenger of the cause. Picture (c) 2016 Arlo Guthrie ). But somehow, Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger k...
