The light show, just because.
At heart, mystery writers are romantics searching for happy endings in our own little world.
Oh, c'mon, admit it– that's sweet.
Happy New Year!

Our corporate secretary is notoriously lax when it comes to comments trapped in the spam folder. It may take Velma a few days to notice, usually after digging in a bottom drawer for a packet of seamed hose, a .38, her flask, or a cigarette.
She’s also sarcastically flip-lipped, but where else can a P.I. find a gal who can wield a candlestick phone, a typewriter, and a gat all at the same time? So bear with us, we value your comment. Once she finishes her Fatima Long Gold.

Hey Jeff! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI was interested to see the word "normalcy" in 1922. This caused me to look up something I assumed was a fact about the origin of the word and find out it is not true. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/did-warren-harding-coin-normalcy
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rob. Now I've learned a new word to start the new year… jackasstical.
DeleteHappy New Year, Leigh! And oh, how we all wait and long and hope for normalcy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eve, and a happy New Year to you!
