Churchill sounds good.
I have three volumes of his colonial wars correspondence: India, Sudan, and South Africa. A nice skirmish in the dark and pouring rain in the Himalayas would be a good piece for Tom. His current blood-and-guts performance includes parts of the Iliad and “The Killer Angels,” as well as WWI.
I stepped out at lunch today — what a shock! It was cold (compared to what it has been), with a quite cold rain coming down. I guess winter has arrived.
