Ok. So you got some basic
idea of how TexasHarley
lives. Cool, huh?
Well, there's a bit
more...actually a lot more, but
we won't go into all of
it...don't want to bore you to
death.
Something that made a
major impact on my life was a
little thing called a "vascular
accident."
In layman's terms, I had a
stroke.

It occurred in my brainstem,
and affected several nerves
in the brainstem bundle.  I
suffered partial paralysis of
my tongue and throat,
making swallowing at best,
difficult. It also affected the
way my eyes track and focus.
Reading is more difficult for
me, now. And reading books
is not nearly as pleasurable
an experience.

       Since I'm not the kind of person to give up easily, especially with
something that I really enjoy, I have found a way to "read" that hasn't been
compromised by my stroke.  I now make use of "books on tape", or "audio
books".
       But books on tape get expensive.  I've pretty much exhausted the
nearest library as a resource, having listened to everything they had, and
needed to find another source, and one that was more affordable than
paying full retail for the books.
       What I found was "audible.com". This is a service that allows me, for
$20 bucks a month, to download two books per month.  Not a whole lot of
reading, but more than most of my peers get, anyway.
       The reason I bring this up is this...if you are interested in the service,
and I can say to "audible.com" that I recommended you, then I can get a
break on what I get to download.
       So, if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, first let me say
that they have a HUGE number of books, first run best sellers, to choose
from.  And second, please email me and let me recommend you, officially
before you subscribe to the service.   Sound like a deal? Thanks.
