HERE’S A TIP—

I’ve been grappling with dry and itchy skin lately. My Veteran’s Administration doctor recommended an over-the-counter product called Aveeno.

Produced by Johnson and Johnson it is described as “Skin relief moisturizing cream”.

And, it does just that. Shortly after lathering the cream into the affected area I experience night-long relief from the pesky itching. By morning the skin retains a soft, naturally elastic feel.

It’s refreshing to discover a product that performs as advertised.



BOOK REPORT—

Napoleon’s Pyramids by William Dietrich

Done in a tongue-in-cheek style the book set in the late 1700s traces Napoleon Bonaparte’s capture of Egypt with his French fleet and search for Egyptian antiquities which could provide answers to immortality. Some reviewers said, “...accurate historical fact...seething with action, adventure and passion...”

Well, at least some of it was.
