The storm has moved on up North towards Mainland Japan.  Okinawa is drenched in sunshine and tickled by soft winds today.  Island living at it’s best!  Driving around with the A/C on and the windows down (I know it’s silly) feels so good and having the iPod blasting through the speakers is perfection.  Today is perfect for the music of Eric Clapton.  I enjoy all of his styles, the rock of Cream and when Clapton plays the blues your heart breaks.  But today I was listening to his 80’s stuff.  Songs like “It’s In The Way That You Use It”, “She’s Waiting” and my favorite, “I’ve Got A Rock N’ Roll Heart”

I have started Jodi Picoult’s NINETEEN MINUTES and am liking it so far.  I find myself being a paranoid reader with this book though.  I keep expecting something terrible to happen or a twist to floor me but so far it’s the violent act that the story centers around as well as character building that fills up the first pages of the book.  I really loved CHANGE OF HEART so we’ll see if I feel the same way about this one.
