    These "optical illusions" are astounding demonstrations of the fact that our perception of color is strongly affected by the surrounding colors.

    Damn! That's probably the most amazing example of color misperception that I've seen.

    thanks, Dulc.

    Fine, just fine. Thanks for asking. And you?


    I'm in the middle of a bout of jury duty, and in the county I am in, it really sucks. It screwed my vacation plans and I'm going to take my sons to visit their grandparents in August. I love my parents but my mom drives me crazy. She is schizophrenogenic.

I'll have to verify the name of the book, but I think it was titled "The Personal Therapist."

    Such an easy read full of common sense stuff. The beauty of it is that it helped me immediately.

    I just checked on Amazon.com and couldn't find it. If you are interested, I will try to find it (or buy a copy) and send it to you.

    Thanks, whiz, but right now I think I need to wallow a bit.

    The name of the book is "The Portable Therapist," by Susanna McMahon, PhD. I found it particularly helpful dealing with grief.

    Thanks, Whiz.

    The reader reviews were stunning. Amazon had one copy in stock - but now they have none.
