I studied all night long so I would pass the test!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We were up and moving early because I had a blood test scheduled at 10:00 am and a carotid artery ultrasound at 11:00 am.\u00a0 Even though I practiced for the blood test, it is always an experience.<\/p>\n

We drove about six miles to the 1010 Building and waited until 11:15 am to get the carotid ultrasound.<\/p>\n

Robert Hooke (1635-1703) was an English scientist, natural philosopher, and architect who first noted that sound waves could be used to study the inside of the body.\u00a0 In 1794, Italian physiologist Lazzaro Spallanzani studied how bats navigate in the dark.\u00a0 This understanding became the basis for modern ultrasound physics.\u00a0 John J. Wild (1914-2009) is credited as being the Father of Medical Ultrasound.\u00a0 He is best known for using ultrasound to diagnose cancer.\u00a0 More…<\/a><\/div>\n

We decided to half the leftovers for lunch and went home to reheat last night’s dinner from Darya’s.\u00a0 The meal was perfect and kept us out of the refrigerator the rest of the day!<\/p>\n

Collen was gone when she took the van to pick up Joe and the crew, and they drove to the desert for a CIF Soccer Playoff game.<\/p>\n

The day was dreary, so I did some work on the garage before coming inside and reading my current Clive Cussler adventure.\u00a0 Mary joined me in the TV\/Living room, where we both read until 8:30 pm.\u00a0 It was nice to get over four hours of reading time, and I was really getting into The Corporation’s current adventure about the golden Buddha and the island of Macau.\u00a0 In my mind, I was part of the team!\u00a0 I could NOT put down the Paperwhite!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mary and I share the same library (as we like to read the same things).<\/p><\/div>\n

We have at least four Paperwhites between us, and since they keep track of where you are, we can keep one in the bedroom and the other as a traveler.\u00a0 Mine is red, and Mary’s is pink!\u00a0 We love its capabilities, especially its built-in dictionary.<\/p>\n

With the touch of a finger, a dictionary and a thesaurus are available.<\/p><\/div>\n

Amazon Kindle is a series of e-readers designed and marketed by Amazon.\u00a0 Amazon Kindle devices enable users to browse, buy, download, and read e-books, newspapers, magazines, Audible audiobooks, and other digital media via wireless networking to the Kindle Store.\u00a0 The hardware platform, developed by Amazon’s subsidiary Lab126, began as a single device in 2007.\u00a0 Currently, it comprises a range of devices, including e-readers with E Ink electronic paper displays and Kindle applications on all major computing platforms.\u00a0 All Kindle devices integrate with Windows and macOS file systems and Kindle Store content, and as of March 2018, the store had over six million e-books available in the United States.<\/div>\n

At 8:30 pm, we turned on the boob tube and continued watching “Suits,” where Louis becomes a named partner.\u00a0 Mary and I agreed that if we had to work with Louis, we would have thrown him out the 38th-floor window!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally, around 10:30-ish, we shut off the TV, turned out the lights, and headed for bed.\u00a0 As I fell asleep, I was thinking about growing up in the 1950s; they were amazing times!<\/p>\n

Absolutely nothing happened all day\u2014so naturally, we were exhausted.<\/p>\n
