Bright Saturday

1 p.m.: The sun seems unusually clear and bright today. Perhaps it is because I am finally feeling better.
Last night I went to an excellent lecture about Buddhism. It was part of a weekly lecture series sponsored by the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole. The speaker was Dr. David Eckel, associate professor of religion, Boston University. He has degrees from Oxford and Harvard and has traveled throughout the Buddhist world. His talk was illustrated with very interesting slides of Buddhist art. HE presented "Four Ways to Tell the Story of the Buddha," in a very interesting way.

OK, to be honest, maybe I am not completely better. During the talk Friday night I did have trouble with my eyes clouding over. This morning my eyes were crusted over when I awoke (yuk). So I looked up conjunctivitis on the Web and got the idea I should see a doctor. Another substitute was covering for my regular doctor, it being Saturday. He said secondary infections were common with sinus infections and bronchitis, but not usually after a week on antibiotics. He gave me some antiniotic eyedrops and said to check in with Dr. T. if things don't improve in a few days.
