They are terrific...if you have an opportunity to take one, by all means, do.

We had a great tour there back in 2014...read radio scripts, the news, did sound effects, and the like. The beautiful blond reading the news is my wife, Susan (;>)

I don't know where to begin, but that feet thingy is impressive! LOL

Did you work at the BBC studios across from the Hotel Langham in London?

Good for you...stay with the clarinet...this will give you inspiration:

I went back to the violin after not playing for 50 years, and still take lessons once a week. Great feeling. I think it's wonderful what you and your brother do.

Just amazing. Wish it were possible for us to see, but alas, I doubt it ever will happen. The situation at Abu Simbel reminds me of what we saw at Chichen Itza (Mexico, of course). How these people knew what they knew at the time about the Sun, Moon, and stars is just unbelievable.

Wow! Carnegie Hall. I am impressed. What do you play? (and if you're still not taking lessons, shame on you!)

And good for your husband. He probably vowed to leave you up there unless you said "yes!" LOL

Carole, what a great story! I absolutely loved it. Obviously, it changed everything...your life, your relationship to the other children...absolutely beautiful.

Erica wrote: "When I saw you commented, Ted, I already knew without reading the comments that I didn't want to follow anything you had written. Lol You have such a fascinating life!"

LOL Yes, boring...that's me. Ask my poor suffering wife of 53 years (actually, we've known each other 57 years). She tells me the only reason she's let me live this long is that I'm still a work in progress.

Carole wrote: "Aww, thanks, Ted. I just make it up as I go along."

Don't we all! Too much planning leads to a pretty boring life. It's serendipity that spices things up. You have to leave yourself open to new opportunities and experiences when they're offered...the key is to recognize them for what they are.

Carole wrote: "Fascinating. What an interesting life, Ted."

It's been a hoot!

I second the motion, Dale. Carole, BTW, is terrific...she has a wealth of information on virtually any subject you can imagine. Don't hesitate to ask her questions, should something come to mind.

Carole wrote: "I'll get Brit to make a twitter post and share."

Thanks, Carole. That's very kind of you both.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Wow! That's terrific, Dale. Happy Birthday. What a great present. I wish the competition were more popular among writers. As it is, many don't even vote for themselves. I have the feeling the site isn't well known yet, despite if having been in existence for quite some time. Pity, that.

It all boils down to what you have on people! (;>)

Hey, Gang (US and UK)...

The Kindle edition of my Det. Louis Martelli, NYPD, mystery/thriller, Wheel of Fortune, is on sale now and over the next 7 days in the US and the UK for 99 cents (and equivalent in the UK). This is the 6th book in the series, but...BUT...all books can be read in any order...there's enough information provided in each such that they can be read independent of one another.

This story is based on real events that took place some years ago just to the southwest of where I live, when a New York Mob attempted to take over the trash hauling and recycling business in York, PA (I place my story in Lancaster, PA, not far from York, to protect the guilty). The language is a little rough; the action, rougher. But as is the case in all my stories, the women are toughest of all! You'll love them, and the story!

The book has a 4.9 STAR rating

Jose still trying to skirt the east coast. Shear may keep him under control but overall size could grow reaching well west of center. NC north still needs to watch the progress. Could have watches up today that eventually extend north. Hurricane Hunters head in today. I have seen these systems intensify under hampering conditions so am curious (high shear/cooler waters). Officially NHC has peaking at 85mph. Invest 96 is gaining attention. Models continue to show it intensify with a WNW motion. SE USA needs to watch its progress. 96 will be nearing the Lesser Antilles first part of next week (Mon/Tue). Great map here from americanwx.com shows 99 ensembles and their general agreement. TD #14 way out in the Atlantic expected to die off. www.spaghettimodels.com / Mikes Weather Page APP
