Better

I'm doing much better in the root canal department. No longer need drugs and just feeling a little pressure.

Finished a great book by Jeffrey Archer. "A Prisoner of Birth." Archer is a former member of the House of Commons, and the House of Lords in Britain. He's also spent two years in Her Majesty's prison. He's written wonderful stories, including "Kane and Abel," which is one of my all time favorite books and was a TV miniseries. I enjoyed this one book immensely. He took his legal knowledge and his prison knowledge to write this story. He took the main character from the East End of London. A young man with a future as a mechanic in his fiance's Father's garage. The night he proposes to his girl is the night that life changed. He's accused of a murder and sent to prison where he's befriended by his cell mates. This leads to a total life change for him and a way to escape his wrongful conviction. He's seeking revenge and setting his traps. Throw in a little "Prince and the Pauper." Definitely a hard book to put down.

Spent some time with my new friend. A little comfort food, knitting and chatting at a necessary time. Thanks MA!
