    Nice to see another local *face*. You look just like my father did way back in the middle of the last century.

    How could you possibly know about that incident?! The poor dear. And that window was so expensive, too.
    He just should haver exercised more control, don't ou think? I mean, after all, what's a girl to do? I can't change now, can I?

    If you get another cat you can name it Falcon. My book, The Beatitudes, is a paranormal thriller set in New Orleans. It will be out in the fall and I am donating all royalties directly to the New Orleans Public Library Foundation. Libraries support the infrastructure of a great city, so I have started The Beatitudes Network to promote awareness of the importance of public libraries in NOLA.
    The blogsite www.beatitudesinneworleans.blogspot.com describes the Network, has excerpts from The Beatitudes, recipes, and more. Merci mille fois. Lyn Lejeune.
    Writers, please pass the word…..it’s for a good cause….don’t let the libraries of New Orleans or the US go the way of The Great Library of Alexandria.

    You're so cool Mr. Rick. my life is just a tune played on a tinny piano, but you make it classical. Here's looking at you, Bogey! Have a great new Year. I'll have Sam play you a song. He played it for me.

    Dark and warped is always good. By the way, "What do I call you...besides 'Stupid'?" :o)

    Thanks very much for the invite. I was just re-watching "Out of the Past" the other night. And listening to your tune as I type, I'm driven to dig out the Julee Cruise discs.

    Thanks for the invite, Harding! You're a man after my own heart. I'll be at Noircity in SF at the end of the month, and alas--no Out of the Past this year. But the Film Noir Foundation restored The Prowler--and if you haven't seen it already ... I think you'd like it. ;)

    LOL - thanks for the comment - I knew you would come back with that :o) Too Late For Tears is a great film, and one which should be far better known. Wouldn't it have been great to see Lizabeth Scott's Jane Palmer and Ann Savage's Vera trying to out-evil each other :o)

    When you say "Cold, Obsessive, Emotionally detached," I think you're talking about Toronto. Nice to see someone else from TO on here.

    I've seen your tocrime blog, nice.

    Thanks for the invite,

    Hey Harding. Love that name. Thanks for the "friending". (Gosh, that sounds like a Stephen King novel. On acid.)

    Obsessive and loyal...makes sense. Vindictive and amiable...dangerous. Thanks for the invite.
