thanks!!

I just finished THE MEDUSA AMULET..a terrific multi-genre read..part international thriller, part historical fiction..part supernatural suspence..a very fullfilling book.

My reading has slowed a bit..with an 8 week old puppy in the house now..quiet time is a bit more rare!

Honestly..just have no desire to watch that film..seems too slow..when I pay 10-15 bucks to see a film in the theatre..I want to be wowed!

welcome!!!!! so happy to have you both as members!!

That new Stallone picture looks like it features Alan Arkin in a carbon copy of every role he has played for the past five years. A male version of Sophia from Golden Girls. The irascible and acerbic older man who says whatever is on his mind. Worked well in Argo and Little Miss Sunshine. But getting old. No pun intended!

What a terrific and unique setting for a mystery!!!

Don wrote: "Rick, somewhere you mentioned reading Suspect by Crais. What an interesting perspective...from the dog. Loved it."

Indeed!! And very timely for me. Lost my treasured schnauzer Velvet last Wednesday and adopted a beautiful 8 week old puppy yesterday. Worst of times. Now become best of times again!!

Here is 8 week old Mason-James Friedman
