Hi Sly!

I'm pretty close to Calgary. Well, the way Calgary's growing I get closer every day! And the emphasis is definitely first syllable.

As to my age, I was (understandably) teased at Left Coast Crime on my panel because of it. I'm 35, and that makes me the equivalent of a toddler in this business, it seems! I know some authors in their 30s who have been told not to disclose that. Weird but true!

So Sandra how far are you from Calgary? That's where Joni Mitchell grew up. The first time I heard her say the name of the town I was struck by how much emphasis she put on the Gary part so it was calGary. I've always heard it and thought of it as sounding more like Calgry although I have always known it was Calgary.

Okay so this is a dumb subject but that's what was in my head when I started writing this. Also when you joined my site I noticed that it says you're 105 years old, wow you sure look good for your age. ;-)

Sly who figures that's how you don't tell your age.

This is all strangely like a conversation I had recently in a chatroom. Don't recall any Brian's there though. Strange.

All

Prime Ministers
Pretty Monkeys
Prime Manicures
Punk Mannequins
Postal Material

to me!

Thanks Sandra

[Sandra Ruttan]

Ha! No, the PM goes to Brian Lindenmuth. Maybe he wants Stephen Harper? Who knows?

But I'd take Mr. Harper over Tony Blair.

[Patricia]

ahhhhh I really thought you wanted Stephen Harper wrapped up, this makes so much more sense ;-)

[Sandra Ruttan]

Actually, it's not so bad Lynne. Since he lives part of the time in Calgary the rates aren't as steep.

A PM is a Private Message.

[LC Fraser]

Okay - dummy alert. What is a PM? And I am pretty sure you don't mean Prime Minister here. Not that I would send him to you anyway. Too expensive
