I never got to meet Paul Wellstone, but even though I live in Kentucky, I considered him the person who spoke for me in the Senate. He is the only one that seemed to espouse the same philosophy as I, but more certainly the only Senator that stood up for that philosophy. And I miss him sorely.

I confess. I felt both repelled and attracted to the title of Andrew Boyd's new book Daily Afflictions. You see, I practice affirmations--you know--like saying to my reflection in the mirror each morning, 'This will be a wonderful day.' But my attraction to Afflictions overwhelmed me. I bought and read Afflictions and it has changed my entire life without turning me into a toad. Forget those comments on his book that say Boyd is a master philosopher serving up a really philosophical potpourri of writings. Afflictions is a dash of awful truth tempered by irony-laced humor with a little sunshine thrown in.

I knew it was the book for me after I read the affliction about getting in touch with your creative self only to find he's a moody, drunken s.o.b. I flopped my head down on my arms and laughed until I cried. Then I picked the book back up to reread the section, just in case I'd interpreted it wrong. Nope! Then there's the affliction Suburb Within. Reading it spurred me to move out of the comfort zone of my familiar inner suburb. I've taken up residence in my inner inner city to find the answers. These may not be your particular afflictions, but Bros. Void and Boyd discuss enough afflictions that you're sure to hit several that have their own special meaning to you. I read the book cover to cover; from Brother Void's ramblings to the Afflictions; from the glossary through the immeasurable thanks to the index. Boyd's distinct, sardonic humor isn't limited to just the afflictions. It afflicts his entire book. When I'd finished reading Daily Afflictions, I felt like I'd lost a friend, so I started reading it again. And with each affliction, I think of yet another friend that I should share the book with.
