Candor at any age, and all any of us are left with is our memories. Life marches on, but nothing could speak louder to me in the here and now than the reasons I purchased five seasons of Columbo on DVD.

i won't forget your birthday ted, believe me..and there is another birthday i have to post about on tuesday..so the 'happy birthday' threads will be flying!

yes the raincoat 'chapter' was great......and the whole book is too, just for the reasons you stated. you don't have to read it chapter by chapter..you can just pick up any part of the book and read away..and have fun with it. it is light and fanciful..
