January / February meetings

What can I say? The meeting at 'Down House"  Down House - in the Houston Heights on Yale St was just super! Our host for this month's meeting sprang for sever hungry readers in our very own party room.

In addition to the great variety of food, the wine, ambiance, and camaraderie were  definitely at all-time highs. We discussed "Every Patient Tells a Story" by Lisa Sanders, MD Learn More on Amazon  and the consensus was that it was a competent and enjoyable selection.

I loved the author's many anecdotes, and enjoyed her writing, though I think she got a little carried away by the topic of Lyme Disease.

This is the first meeting at which I've enjoyed shrimp and grits, tomato bisque, and bread pudding with a caramel topping.

I know we all had a great time, and will long remember it. I had intended to bring my camera, but forgot it and did not get away from work in time to go home and retrieve it. Great is the pity!


Next up on the 28th of February at Maison Louis, will be The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat . It deals with people with what may be termed "bizarre" behaviors that arise from neurological and other disorders. He deals with these fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations in this book, and I for one look forward to reading it.

Thanks, Drew for a wonderful January meeting, and for the January / February selection!
