Thank you gentlemen for the props. . .

Although I had downloaded the latest episode of IHOSE, "The Private Life of Vincent Starrett", I had not as yet had time to listen to it.
James suggested I do so for I might be surprised. So I did.

The gracious hosts kindly read my review of my first listening to their show (and made it sound far better than it sounded written) and thanked me for the review.

It is indeed my pleasure, and it has become a habit. A thank you for the thank you.


And because my dad was with Bomber Command I am going to read this one.

Sherlock's Squadron: The Incredible True Stories of the Unsung RAF Heroes of World War Two 



And on your way back, you may as well make another stop. . .

A Murder to Solve, as Holmes Did




This one actually sounds kinda fun.

And if you are looking for a job. . . .
