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.

I’m on my way home....be back shortly.

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!
