The Wedding Guest
By Jonathan Kellerman
Book Review By Fredric H. Karr
Member Of The District of Columbia Bar
and Retired Government Attorney

“First time for everything.” You’ll see why the beginning is great as you
enjoy Jonathan Kellerman’s latest, “The Wedding Guest.”

Jonathan Kellerman is all right! He is the author of 33 Alex Delaware novels
(including The Wedding Guest) and 12 other novels. I have sampled several
Alex Delaware tomes was always pleased. “The Wedding Guest” appeared
on the Publishers Weekly bestseller list.

Reprised from prior Alex Delaware fables, include our intrepid psychologist
(natch!) and certain others. It’s always good to see all of you fine folks once
again!

The quick-moving dialogue (which in spots is slightly sardonic) dominates
the text. As such, the plotline moves with alacrity.

The size of the dramatis personae is satisfactory. That’s okay. I’m not crazy
about jumbo casts of characters.

Towards the end of the novel, cell phones seem to grab the author’s
attention. “Thus,” he writes, “I never use the phone while driving.” My
sentiments exactly, Mr. Kellerman! Unfortunately, I witness hordes of
individuals chatting gaily on the phone while approaching speeds worthy
of Formula One!

Shortly later, Mr. Kellerman observes (perhaps, snidely). “Nowadays, a
lot of people seemed incapable of moving their feet without consulting their
phones.” Sadly, how true!

The author also observes, “no Europeans trips for you… there’s so much
of America to see.” I’m meeting more and more folks who eschew foreign
travel and instead treat themselves to the marvels of this country!

“Craft devil.” See who is prescient as you are entertained by “The Wedding
Guest.”

Golf and Tips

By Kevin Battersby, PGA

More distance on your drives!

By increasing the distance you drive the ball, you will help you hit more
greens in regulation or get you close enough to improve your scores.

Here are some tips to increase your club head speed:

Increase the distance on your tee shots!

Increasing the distance on your drives affords you the chance to hit more
greens in regulation.

Here are some helpful tips to increase that club head speed for more dis-
tance:

1: Make sure your grip is flexible enough in the fingers of your lead hand
to promote faster hand action at impact.

2: Employ a closed stance with your trail foot pulled back a few inches
like Hogan, Snead, Toski, and Rocco Mediate to name a few players.

3: Swing a weighted club in practice with the intent of moving your arms
and hands faster.

4: Use lighter graphite shafts with the proper flex point to maximize your
equipment.

5: Increase the carry-on your shots by having more loft in your driver or
possibly using your three-wood to tee off.

6: Employ a lighter grip pressure in your hands while still maintaining
control for more speed.

7: Have a proper swing path from the inside and draw or hook the ball.
8: Use a baseball grip or ten-finger to reduce tension in your hands and
get more pop in your shot at impact.
9: Maintain on center strikes on the center of the club face.
10: Have more of a swing mentality than a hit with a full-length swing.

Dear Friends,

Schools have come to an end and we are of-

ficially in Summer. Although we all enjoy the

sunshine, it is important that we be aware of the

health risks associated with this Season.

Spending time in the beautiful Florida outdoors

can be beneficial and provide much needed Vi-

tamin D. However, it is recommended by the

Florida Department of Health not to be over-

exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light. It is

important to use sun protection such as hats and

sunglasses with UVS and UVB ray protection,

as well as broad-spectrum sunscreen greater than 15 SPF (reapplied every

two hours or after contact with water). Additionally, it is recommended to

seek shade when the sun is at its strongest and to wear protective clothing

when outdoors.

Without such precaution, one runs the risk of developing skin cancer. The

Department has identified the common signs of skin cancer to be sores that

haven’t healed, a new mole or any changes to an already existing mole. Spe-

cific signs of Melanoma are:

• An irregularly shaped mole or spot

• A mole or spot with uneven color

• A mole that is larger than a pea

• Changes in an existing mole or spot

Should you suspect any changes or see any of these symptoms, it is recom-

mended that you consult your doctor or health care provider.

Please do not hesitate to contact my office for any issues or concerns.

Our end of the Season Tennis event was held on Sunday, April 14th. Round
Robin games were organized by picking cards. The format was played with the
first team winning 4 games. There were 4 rounds of play. The total winning
games were collected by Shelley Mark. Then, the top scoring men played
off for 1st and 2nd place and the same for the women.
The winning teams were:
Women: 1st place: Barbara Schwartz and Carol Bryan Werbin; 2nd place:
Shelly Proper and Nora Yarieva.
Men: 1st place: Barry Mark and Jeff Green; 2nd place: John Reilly and
Bob David.
The games were close and the crowd CHEERED!

Dear Dr. Joy...
By Joy Berke Sanchez, PhD

Some people might find it odd that I’m go-
ing to be writing about change to a group of
seniors. I so often hear people saying that they
are too old to change whether it is behavior,
habits, feelings or points of view. You may
be surprised to hear that on my first day as a
psychology undergraduate student, in my first
course, Psych 101, the Professor asked us to
raise our hands if we had plans to become
therapists. About 1/3 of the class raised their
hands. He then asked us to write down what
we believed would be the most difficult part of
this career we were headed for. We all wrote our answers and he asked us to
read them out loud. When we had completed that task, he told us we were all
wrong and that we would one day find out that the hardest thing we would
be doing was attempting to separate the client from the problem. How right
he was. At first, we all thought he was joking with us. After all this, was the
reason the clients were coming, wasn’t it? Maybe yes, maybe no, but it was
often excruciatingly difficult. Admitting the need for change was the easy
part. Implementing that or any other change was another story altogether.
These people did not have 50, 60, 70 or more years to become set in their
ways. Mostly they were people between 25 and 45. So what is the issue with
change and why do so many people find it a nearly impossible task?
It appears that our basic identity and outlook sets itself concretely at a very
young age. We decide early on what we can or cannot do; what our basic
abilities and talents are. We see ourselves as athletic or intellectual or funny
or good at math or writing or music or performing or anything else….and we
do this early on. Then we follow that path, even if at some point, we realize
we don’t like it or prefer something entirely different. We also decide how
happy we are or how successful or how worthy or deserving or lucky and
we then go about fulfilling that image as well. We usually succeed to the
degree we see ourselves. These scripts are not fully conscious but they are
not unconscious either. We then program our lives to carry out our plans.
So, when clients would come to therapy, there was often a push/pull going
on in them. At a conscious level, they knew they wanted more out of their
lives than they were getting but they didn’t fully realize that they were actu-
ally living according to a default plan. Their identities were tied up with these
ideas that they held and the longer they held them, the more they believed
and followed them. Separating them from these concepts, no matter how
much they wanted to live and feel differently, was extremely difficult. They
didn’t seem to know who they would become and how they would navigate
life as this new person.
So, without going into my methods for working with these individuals,
these couples, these families, I would just like to ask my readers if any of
this applies to you? Regardless of your chronological age or your thinking,
that change takes a lot of time. Is there any change you would like to make
in yourself or your life?
Is there something new you would like to try or is there another way you
would like to present yourself to the world? Are there ideas that you realize
you still hold that are not serving you but you don’t know how to replace or
rethink them or even where to start? What I’ve noticed by living in three dif-
ferent senior communities, is that there are differing ways that people retire.
Some people decide to jump in and do all those things that they didn’t have
time to do when they are younger and working. Others do the same things but
don’t get paid for it anymore. They just take whatever expertise they had and
use it in various ways in retirement. And some people just sit down. Perhaps
you want to change what you are doing. What would that mean to you?
Why not write down your fantasy changes. Let your mind wander and see
what comes up for you. It may be a small thing or something you think is
way beyond you. Even if you don’t implement any of them, it would be a
great mind-expanding exercise. Note if there are any fears or trepidation in
the mix and what they might be. Do this for fun. Don’t even tell anyone if
you don’t feel comfortable. This is just for you. Play with it. I think I’ll do
it with you as well. Go for it….

win. Win or lose, we’re all having fun, learning and enjoying the camaraderie.

POETS and POETRY

If your poetry was not in this issue because of space, we will try to get it in the next issue. Our goal is
to give everyone an opportunity to have their work published.All poetry will be printed as submitted.

An Old Man

By Mel Berenson
The tears, horror of a grasping age,
It’s intense infusion gnawing at the synthetic

marrow
in antiquated bone, and the old man simply waits.
Tenderness is naught in his never ending planned

solitude,
An empty heart filled with a body filled with days

and
nights, an oft times suffering.
He awakens once more to morning light, knowing
If there is no pain, it follows there must be no life.
with his wife long gone, he wonders.
Yet his interior rages against the all consuming
emotional agony, he seeks the whiteness of the day
yet fears the mockery of death.
And so, with passions remembered, he treads the
hopeful world of sleep, even with body bent with

time.
and sadness, the old man lifts his head and smiles,
perhaps his last, perhaps not.

A Rainy Day

By Nancy Heller Moskowitz
Do you have a favorite type of day? I DO. It’s a

rainy day.
Why? You ask. What makes it special...
I have nowhere to go
I watch the raindrops dance upon the window pane
Sometimes softly like a whisper, others like an

angry soul
I listen for the tempo of their beat
To hear them ping, or say nothing at all
The air is heavy, then washed anew like a baby’s

bottom after a bath
To be able to stay in bed and read, read, read
Nirvana!!!!
