the wife balked at the idea of taking the flyer.

bumper-to-bumper to dallas it is.

just listen to the mariners game on the radio during the drive

I'll see what i can do. i think we'll be listening to The Devil in the White City. just as long as a baseball game.

Let us know how it is. I’ve had it in my stack for years. Someone left it in a plane seat or a seat at the airport or something and I picked it up. Been meaning to read it but have never gotten around to it.

well, I'll get the last 3.5 hours of it. she's almost through with it.

those Larson books are thicc.
