Wow!

The wind howled outside and I knew my lab waited at home, but the longer I stayed, the longer I could avoid facing the wind's fury. I pulled the cart of books closer to me, and looked at the shipment that the library had received. Some of the titles were very intriguing, for example: Stealing your life by Frank Abagnale about identity theft; Beyond the body farm by Dr. Bill Bass & Jon Jefferson; (Dr. Jefferson is a legendary bone detective who works in forensic science); What in the world are your kids doing online? by Barbara Melton & Susan Shankle; Educating the net generation by Bob Pletka and one on the global climate change, The suicidal Planet by Hillman, Fawcett & Rajan. There were more! I checked one out by a psychiatrist who, according to the dust jacket, spent more than ten years helping a patient with 17 personalities. The title was Switching time by Richard Baer. (Sometimes I think my Lab has several personalities). Wow - 17.

I put the cart of books out to be shelved, then I wrapped my coat around me, picked up the book, and faced the wind toward home and my lab.
