We went downtown this evening to Rock Point Books for an author's talk and book-signing. The author was Jefferson Bass, which is the nom de plume of John Jefferson and William Bass. Dr. Bass is a forensic anthropologist, and is the founder of the University of Tennessee's Anthropology Research Facility -- the Body Farm. Surely you've heard of it, a place where donated bodies are left to decay naturally so that forensic scientists can study the processes and use that knowledge to aid law enforcement agencies. Patricia Cornwell wrote a book called The Body Farm. There is also a TV series called Bones (based on books by Kathy Reichs) where the protagonist is a forensic anthropologist.
These are two fascinating men, who have written a series of books - fiction and nonfiction. We haven't read any of them, but after listening to their talk, we're surely going to change that. Click here (http://www.jeffersonbass.com/index.php )to get to the Jefferson Bass web site.
After our regular Thursday lunch, we went to get haircuts. John had decided that he wanted a new, easier to care for, look. And that's today's photo. First the glasses went, then the mustache, and now the hair. I like the look. What do you think?
p.s. I just heard on the news that Candace Parker (UT Lady Vols) has decided to forego her last year of eligibility and go into the WNBA.
