the gospel of electroconvulsion
---------------------

It was a fairly sunny
day. It was a day marked by the absence of weather events.
Today's photo shows a herd of 15 deer at sunset as they mosey across
AuTrain Lake near our Crow's Nest cottage.

from a review of
Electroboy: A Memoir of Mania
by Andy Behrman:
The author
describes his "recovery" - after 19 electroconvulsive treatments.
He appears to have found a new, drug-free purpose in life: telling
the world about his illness, and spreading the gospel of
electroconvulsion.
