In honor of Reading Is Sexy's grand opening, I'm going to start off with the series that's has been holding me in a chockhold for going on 10 years now.
Nora Roberts, writing as JD Robb in her not so far distant future has captured my attention since my very good friend lend me a copy of the 1st of the series, Naked In Death. That copy started me on my 10 year journey of hunting and gathering mission to find and read every one of the books in the series.

Okay so Tuesday I met with the neurosurgeon and the clinical psychologist to receive final clearance to be one of the 150 people in the final clinical trial for the Occipital Nerve Stimulator (ONS) which is for people with chronic (intractable) migraine. If the results of the study are consistent with the previous trials then this device could receive FDA approve within two years and available to other chronic migraine sufferers. The ONS device is not a cure but a preventative measure to stop migraines in their tracks.

Khipu recovered from graves on the coast of Peru
