    Hot-damn! Another Rare Bird joined up and visible! Lovely to see you here and thanks for the friending, Patricia. You ought to lurk less, that way people like *me* would learn more, rather than the other way around!

    Happy Easter Patricia --- in case you missed it on Moldy we had easter bunny tracks (well rabbit tracks if you insist) right up to the front door. Needless to say the ten year old was thrilled.

    Patricia, sorry I set you back a few bucks. I'll be anxious to hear what you think of the book. Thanks for adding me to your list!

    Hi Patricia,
    No, I haven't seen Hustle--you think I can rent it on Netflix? (love that resource!) I'm going to check it out. Is it a BBC production?

    I'm so grateful that you took the time to go to the website! Thank you!

    David C is such a neat guy. He and I have the same editor. I really need to get to The Devil's Redhead. So many books....

    Oh good Patricia! Do I get to be questionable or seedy or both? I think I would prefer questionable. Sounds more refined somehow. (snort!)

    Apr 14, 2007

  • Rose

    Brookins is from Minnesota. What does he know about seedy characters? We are too Norweign to be seedy.
    I would rather just be mysterious myself, if I could remember how.

    Yup, it's York. We have been going up there since I was in college. My brother had the good sense to go out with a girl whose parents had a cottage in York. And they were kind enough to invite all of us to spend time there. My older sister lives there full time and my brother now owns his in-laws house near Nubble.

    Hi Patricia, thanks a million for the welcome, it's really appreciated. I just saw Ken Bruen flashing by there in your photos ... the guy is a true gentleman, and a fabulous writer. Your taste is obviously impeccable ...! Cheers, Declan

    I just noticed that you're from Toronto. I escaped the towers of Bay and King Streets, and the leafy suburbs of Oakville just a couple of months ago. I was fortunate enough to take early retirement from my job at RBC, and I came out to BC for a time. I'm house sitting, and having a great time. If you're interested in reading about my life as a farmer, please go to http://typem4murder.blogspot.com. But, true Ontarioian that I am, I'll be back in the spring. Best,

    Ah, Poe's Grave, a popular site in Baltimore. Did you know that the Baltimore Ravens were names after Poe's Poem?

    Jul 17, 2007

  • Rose

    Thanks, Patricia.

    Still don't know anything defiinite. Except more speialists have been added to the mix, and more test scheduled. Just sent update to Bev.

    Patricia--

    Based on your comment on my page:

    A side note about the name of the Baltimore Ravens name. Incidentlally, it was the Baltimore fans's insistence that the name *Browns* and its history remain in Cleveland.

    In a fan survey, the fans were given choices of *Bombers* after the WWII manufacture of the B-24 during WWII in Baltimore and *The Americans,* after the penning of the the National Anthem at Fort McHenry, another great tourist site. Someone suggested *Ravens* and it became an overwhelming write-in favorite.

    I am not even awake yet and you have me laughing. Talk about needing coffee ..... we could all be the birdhouse (okay I am REALLY not awake here) - you know the one I mean? Twenty of us could have roles in that thing.

  • LC Fraser

    For me it took me back to when a friend put a chair on his head to do his Bullwinkle imitation. In a restaurant. In Toronto. I wasn't even there but the story lives on.

    Hi Patricia - I've noticed you're back around - the babies are beautiful when they are asleep - awake, well they're a nightmare :)

    Hi, Patricia --

    Oh, if only there were 25 million other people who read the way you do. I could go to my signings in a chauffeured Rolls Royce instead of a battered Mazda.

    Hi Patricia,
    Nice to meet you! I'm registered for almost all of the cons next year, so I hope I get to meet you. I blog with 3 other mystery writers at www.jungleredwriters.com, stop by and say hello.

  • Jim Barker

    Thanks Patricia

    I've been getting bored with RAM recently so I thought I's try over here. The fact that i became member Number 900 had a good deal in persuading me... :)

    Hi Patricia
    Thanks for the invite. I am reasonably new to reading crime fiction - so I have some way to go to catch up with you.!

  • Clea Simon

    Hi Patricia! We must know each other from 4MA -- were you at the Malice lunch this year? Will have to check out the other sites you're on.

    Aug 27, 2007

  • Clea Simon

    Ah well, Malice is a great con but there were so many people at the 4MA lunch Dawn Dowdle organized that I didn't get to meet half of them. Do you get to any of the conventions? Next con I'm going to, I believe, is Murder in the Magic City (Feb., Birmingham, Alabama).

    Aug 27, 2007

  • LC Fraser

    Hey Patricia --- nice to see you found Clea. We all need more cat people right?

    How did the bird feeder picture turn out? Better than mine?
