Yeah, an online book club is very time consuming to organize. I’ve followed a few of them and I can see where it would be lots of work. You can put me on that ping list if it’s ok.
I belong to a book club where we meet once a month. It’s kind of fun. We make a meal that has to do with the book. I didn’t go this month.

Hi Conor.....working on some music & thinking about rustling up some supper.

At about 4:00 we hit 113* today. Felt like a blast furnace outside.

I can’t begin to express how much respect & awe I have for our troops in the heat of the desert with all that gear!

All the right stuff they are!

Hey, Conor!! Good to see you! It’s going quite well, in spite
of it still being 90 degrees here at my house! *whew*

If you have cool air, blow some my direction! LOL!

How are you and yours doing?
